We sneaked in a-semi-private tour. The theater is full of rich history that welcomes you by a grandiose foyer illuminated by a sparkling chandelier.

We attend the symphony in this beautiful building, supposedly a copy of La Scala in Milan. the accoustics and excellent and sight lines are perfect, at least in the orchestra section. There's a pretty little bar just off the foyer where you can have a drink before the concert or during intermission.

Saw a rehearsal for free in this lovely space. Great acousitics. Free tours from 12-2. Lit up in the evenings. Lovely, romntic cafe at the side.

What a beautiful place to come and enjoy a concert! bring your camera to take some shots of the inside before/after. if you can't get a tour, go for some tickets to hear the symphony (not on par with NY Phil, but an enjoyable concert none the less). Bring those student IDs for 1/2 price tickets! we sat in the... More

We caught a ballet performance and enjoyed it quite a bit. It was visually quite impressive (both the space and the production). The music was canned (unfortunately) but this may have nothing to do with the facility, per se. The cheap seats (very high) are priced right, but you do get what you pay for in this case, so I'd...

The Degollado Theater has undergone various bouts of remodeling over the 40 years I've known it, and each time it emmerges even more lovely. It is the perfect place to enjoy ballet folklorico, but most especially the Orquesta Filharmonica de Jalisco. The orchestra's dynamic young conductor, Alondra de la Parra, seems to pulls the music from the instruments with the... More

I went to the Chopin series last year and it was the best concert experience I had ever had. The pianist was awesome and even played my favourite polonaise as the end. The theatre is very cozy and there is a theatre bar for drinks before and after and during the intermission. It is a great place, and in a... More

Nothing wrong with the theater but... went there 3 days in a row (noon to 2 PM) and couldn't acces because of rehearsals. I guess Christmass time isn't the best for that. Anyway, it's in the area you should and will visit.
