Teatro Degollado

Lovely to watch mariachi play with Jalisco Symphany Orchestra. Looked full on Saturday night. Such a beautiful old theater. Staff was helpful & attentive.

If you like music concert and appreciate them, it is a beautiful place to enjoy, like the Opera Garnier in Paris. Very affordable but full of good ratings and quality music as well.

This place is well worth the price of admission and more, will definitely be coming more often. The center of the bowl seems to have the best views of the entire orchestra except maybe the front floor seats.

I didn’t went in, but the location is beautiful and that building is breathtaking from the outside! That’s definitely somewhere/an area I’d like to spend more time in. It felt very secure, and it’s located in the middle of the city.

The teatro Degollado is a mid-19 century jewel built in 1856-1866. It has gone through many renovation throughout the century. It was originally called teatro Alarcón, in honor of the classical playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. After the Reform wars(1857-1861) the governor Pedro Ogazon changed the name to Santos Degollado,former governor and general who died in battle in 1861. Most of the renovations of the theater were done to improve the interior design and reinforce the roof of the building. Between 1953-1959 artist Roberto Montenegro designed and crafted the mosaic of Apollo and the Nine Muses on the theaters pediment. 16 Corinthian columns support the pediment. The theater is now home of the Jalisco Philharmonic and the place of high artistic performances. Book your private tours of Guadalajara with me! And let’s explore Guadalajara together!

Stunning! We were able to go inside on a Tuesday when there wasn’t a show going on. It was magical to sit inside and take in the beauty of the space. We could also hear someone practicing for opera backstage. Wow

Very beautiful, amazing theatre. Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco had a wonderful concert. Really unforgettable experience for us.

A beautiful piece of architecture and art in GDL, a true jewel. This is a neoclassical theater located in the plaza center, stunning! This is most definitely a must visit while visiting or living in GDL! A 19th century architectural masterpiece, opened in 1866. 👍👍

The absolute worst thing about going to a theater, any kind of theater, is the inconsideration of people who absolutely cannot put away their damn cellphones. Theater managers need to start kicking out the people who turn them on during the show. Sheesh, I didn't pay money to be distracted by idiots with ADHD.
