Lonely Planet review

Dating back to 1918, this was the first theater to be built in Mexico City and, after being closed for several years, has been exquisitely restored to its former glory. The elaborate neoclassical facade is a suitable taster of what's to come: a sumptuous Art Nouveau interior reflecting the belle époque style of the period. The 1300-seat theater is the venue for a healthy selection of musical genres, including classical orchestras, recitals and blues (John Lee Hooker Jnr was a recent sold-out star).
