Construction of this neoclassical theater, which is home to the Guadalajara Philharmonic, was begun in 1855 and completed four decades later. Above the Corinthian columns is a pediment with a mosaic depicting Apollo and the Nine Muses.
The five-floor interior is swathed in red velvet and gold and crowned by a mural by Gerardo Suárez and Carlos Villaseñor based on the fourth canto of Dante’s Divine Comedy.
