Teatro Municipal of Caracas
The Teatro Municipal of Caracas is an opera house in Venezuela. It was inaugurated by President Guzmán Blanco in 1881. It was begun by a French architect and finished by a Venezuelan architect Jesús Muñoz Tébar.
It is one of the oldest opera houses in South America and continues to mount operatic productions.[1] However, it is no longer the city's main opera house since the Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex opened in the 1980s. The Teatro Municipal is the home of the Municipal Symphony Orchestra of Caracas.
