Teatro Colon



2/17 Took bus to Teatro Calon for one hour tour of theater. Rated the third best opera house in the world for acoustics. The theater crew was preparing for the new season and setting up props. Not sure what this opera is to be. All materials in the theater were imported from Europe in first decade of 20th century. Three different architects were hired to complete structure. Two died during their tenure leading some to believe the house was jinxed. Afterwards walked to the Puerto Madero for lunch at La Cabana. Very nice setting overlooking the River de la Plata. Search for a while to find bus back to Recoleta. Too tired to go out.
