Teatro Colón

The Colón Theatre is the opera house in Buenos Aires. According to About.com it's the second largest opera house in the southern hemisphere, second to the Sydney Opera House. Linden and I really wanted to take the tour and with some luck made got into a second English tour, that was added after the first one fille up. We were only allowed to take pictures at the beginning of the tour, and because of rehearsals, the stage was dark. It was, however, a beautiful and interesting tour and we'd like to return to see a performance in the great hall.
