Why pick out Pavarotti for being fat. Caruso was fat too. And Callas was fat up until the middle fifties. Pavarotti was a great singer; his fat was neither here nor there.

Reading anything about Buenos Aires and Argentina is pleasant.
I have never had the opportunity to visit the city but ever since I was a child I
have been dreaming of beinbg there. The reason: beautiful music like Adios Pampa Mia, Adios Muchachos and Los Tres Caballeros. Viva Argentina

Hey, congrats for the blog! I’m brazilian, going to BsAs for the third time, and still learning, still researching… The first time I was there, I went on a tour inside the theater and the “talleres” – the backstage, actually underground… very nice indeed. Could you check and see if that’s gonna be closed too or not? ‘Cause that’s a good tip too

Hola! I’m from Philippines and I was searching for Argentina especially the city of Buenos Aires. This site is very cool — a lot of important information and up-to-date contents on every page I have visited. Thanks anyway for the author/publisher of this site. I hope I can visit this wonderful place one day…

Amy:

I am not an expert in that area, so I am going to have to resort to quoting from the Teatro Colon website…

“Facing the curtain, and at a lower level, is the orchestra pit with a capacity for 120 musicians. The pit has been treated with a resonance chamber and special curves to reflect the sound. It is because of these characteristics, and the architectural proportions and quality of materials employed in its construction, that Colon Theatre enjoys exceptional acoustics, world-wide re-known for perfection.”

I hope that is of some use. Was there anything in particular you wanted to know about the Orchestra pit at the Teatro Colon?
