Entertainment Information
The concierge at your hotel should be able to
provide you with information about opera, bal-
let and theater performances as well as reserve
tickets. The same holds true for major sporting
events. There are several publications that list
events and performances throughout the city.
You can pick these up at virtually any kiosk.
The
BuenosAiresHerald
,
founded in 1876, is
an informative English-language daily and
your best choice for finding out what's going on.
The entertainment section provides a complete
up-to-date listing of what's playing in the cine-
mas, theaters and clubs throughout town. It
costs $1 and is available at newsstands.
Buenos Aires Guest
,
an English-language
booklet issued monthly, includes information on
theater, music, sports and special events as well
as a dining and nightlife guide. Plus, it's free.
Theaters & Concert Halls
Buenos Aires is an important stop for interna-
tional artists. Of course, the chance of your get-
ting last-minute tickets will depend on who is
performing.
Tip
If you're considering a trip to the the-
ater, remember that most perfor-
mances are in Spanish, though there
are also some English-speaking theater
troupes who perform in the city. Check
