Teatro Hidalgo Bartolomé de Medina

Teatro Hidalgo Bartolomé de Medina, Theatre building in Pachuca, Mexico.

Teatro Hidalgo Bartolomé de Medina is a Neoclassical theatre in Pachuca built in 1957 on Plaza Juárez. Its facade of white Tezoantla quarry stone has three ground-level arches, smooth pilasters with Doric capitals, an upper row of square openings with balustrades, three balconies and a straight triangular pediment. The hall holds 453 people in 500 seats, with an 8 by 6 metre stage, two dressing rooms and a conference room for 80.

The original Teatro Bartolomé de Medina began construction in 1881, was suspended in 1883, resumed in 1885, and opened on 15 January 1887. Its structure was by engineer Ramón Almaraz and completed by Italian Cayetano Tangassi, with interior decoration by Jesús Herrera y Gutiérrez; the Tezoantla quarry facade was finished in 1891. After a final season in January 1943, it was demolished. The present theatre opened in March 1957 on Plaza Juárez, built on the site of the demolished Ferrocarril Hidalgo station, and was reinaugurated on 18 March 1987.

The theatre's name honours Bartolomé de Medina, and its interior holds a mural by Jesús Becerril Martínez signed in July 1959, titled Historia del teatro y Danza en México. The painting shows Xochipilli with a teponaztli and a huéhuetl, the Atlantes de Tula, the Voladores de Papantla, a Chinelo and the Danza del Venado. It was first placed in the Teatro Efrén Rebolledo before being moved here.

The theatre stands on Plaza Juárez, built on the site of the former Ferrocarril Hidalgo railway station. The main hall seats 453 people in 500 seats, with some seats beside the eight-by-six-metre stage usually left free. A conference room holds 80 people, and there are two dressing rooms and three halls.

The 1957 building housed the Congress of the State of Hidalgo in its early years, before being reinaugurated on 18 March 1987 as a multipurpose cultural venue. Its interior also holds a mural by Jesús Becerril Martínez, signed in July 1959, titled Historia del teatro y Danza en México, first placed in the Efrén Rebolledo theatre and later moved here.
