"The Teatro Colon is an incredibly beautiful old building and theatre. In the evenings you can catch a Philharmonic orchestra and other musical concerts.
There are guided visits every single day, every 15 minutes in Spanish. However, there are only two tours in English: 11 am & 1:30 pm.
There are 3 visits per day in Portuguese: 11.45, 1.00 pm, and 4 pm.
The guided visit lasts 50 minutes.
You should arrive 20-30 minutes before the start of the tour to buy your tickets. It's possible to purchase them online. I suggest reserving your tour in advance (you can do it in person) if you are visiting in the high season.
Prices:
General: $22.000
Argentine residents (with DNI): $10.000
Retired and University students: $4.500
Children under 7: free
There is a small cafe in the center hallway where you can grab a coffee while you wait for your tour to begin.

"Ornate, prestigious, and considered one of the top ten opera houses in the world! The acoustics and architecture of this building are placed at the same level of other world-renowned theaters and it first opened its doors in 1857 before a later period of construction.
This is probably one of my favorite places in the city and I highly reccomend you visit, whether for a quick peak, guided tour, or full production. Tickets can be pricey, however there are bargain options available for standing seats — search for ‘cazuela de pie’ and ‘paraíso de pie.’"

"A former theatre, the Grand Splendid is one of the world's most beautiful bookstores. With each incarnation since its inception in 1919—first as a performing arts theater, then as a cinema, and now a bookstore—the Grand Splendid has proven itself befitting of its majestic title.
Having retained its original frescoed ceilings, ornate theater boxes, elegant rounded balconies, and detailed trimmings the building remains as stunning today as when it was first envisioned by architects Peró and Torres Armengol."
