Teatro de la Ciudad, Theatre building in Historic Center, Mexico City.
The Teatro de la Ciudad features neoclassical architecture with elements inspired by Milan's La Scala opera house on Donceles Street.
Inaugurated in 1918 with support from operetta singer Maria Esperanza Bonfil, the theater welcomed international performers including Enrico Caruso and Anna Pavlova.
The theater maintains a program of opera, dance, theatrical productions, and classical concerts that represent both Mexican and international artistic expressions.
Located near multiple metro stations, the theater contains 1344 seats and presents performances throughout the year in its Italian-style stage configuration.
After a period of neglect and fire damage in 1976, the building underwent extensive renovations completed in 2002 to enhance acoustics and technical systems.
