Lonely Planet review for Teatro Tomás Terry
Swapping French influences for Italian, the Teatro Tomás Terry is grand from the outside, but even grander within. Built between 1887 and 1889 to honor Venezuelan industrialist Tomás Terry, the 950-seat auditorium is embellished with Carrara marble, hand-carved Cuban hardwoods and whimsical ceiling frescoes. In 1895 the theater opened with a performance of Verdi’s Aïda and it has witnessed numerous landmarks in Cuban music and dance in the years since.
