Theaters in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is renowned as one of the four theatrical centers of the world after London, New York and Madrid.

The throbbing hub of the porteño theater scene is on Avenida Corrientes, barrio San Nicolás.

On this street musicals and commercial comedies share the bill, along with traditional theater promoted and sustained by official organizations. The barrio of Abasto has transformed itself into the place for independent theater, with its avant-garde offerings.
