Corrientes and Bouchard
For information call the Colón Theater Box Office.
Natalia
Makorova and
Julio Bocca
were recently
guest perform-
ers here.
Luna Park is the setting of a great many special
events. The Colón Theater is responsible for
most of the programs here, as the stadium
serves as its annex. When Luciano Pavarotti
appeared here, the need for a stadium of its size
was obvious.
