Wonderfully remodeled, downtown in the historic centert of Asuncion.
Compared to Teatro Colon or other national theaters, the Teatro Municipal is a let down, but, for Paraguay, it is very nice. I've seen various performances there and the accoustics are generally good, the facilities are clean, and the a/c works.
We saw an interesting concert between Asuncion's professional symphony orchestra (OSCA) and the police band. A remodeled, older theater, it has a lovely feeling on intimacy.
Lovely building but with faded grandeur. Fascinting structure
Walk by this place, ask if there are any shows going on, and go see a show if there are. There are frequent symphonies, concerts, plays, operas, etc, and all are reasonably priced. It is just a nice, old fashioned (reminds me of the 1930's for some reason) place to see a show.
Hermoso edificio. Es un imperdible visitarlo si se está en el centro de Asunción. Verdaderamente maravilloso desde un punto de vista arquitectónico
Театр открыт в этом здании в 1855 году. Считается лучшим театром в стране, в нем играют лучшие артисты, играющие от детских спектаклей до классики. Приезжие труппы выступают тоже здесь.
Recomendo verificar quando vai haver algum espetáculo e ir. É uma atmosfera bastante envolvente a da platéia paraguaia. Eles aplaudem pra valer, se emocionam. Preciso concordar que foi um belíssimo show, mas o entusiasmo da platéia foi contagiante! Além disso, vale lembrar que o ticket comprei lá mesmo, 40 minutos antes do show e por apenas 28 mil guaranies. Super valeu a pena a experiência!
Quando se pensa em Teatro Municipal se pensa no do Rio, de São Paulo, Manaus, Belém. Mas nada disto. É um teatro bem simples. Não condiz com uma Capital.
Box office has limited hours...generally around times of events. I did manage to see a local modern dance production and the theater was nice..modern with a good layout. The production was OK..but I was there mainly to share in the lives of the locals.
