TEATRO MELICO SALAZAR
Go there and contact
The second theater in the city after the Nacional, built at the beginning of the century and with 2,000 seats in San José.
Melico Salazar was the tenor who replaced Caruso at La Scala in Milan. The theater that bears his name, first a cabildo (town hall) and then army headquarters where the national anthem was composed in 1852, became a boys' high school in 1913 before being closed in 1924. In 1926, it became a theater for the first time, where zarzuelas and operettas were performed. Destroyed by fire in 1967, the Raventos Theatre finally became the Melico Salazar in 1976, and was renovated in the 1980s. With its 2,000 seats, it is the city's second-largest theater after the Nacional.
