Answer
The Solís Theatre opened in 1856 and became one of Uruguay's main cultural institutions. Its importance is not only due to the age of the building: dramatic, musical, and other productions take place on its stage, and the theatre itself is an important part of the architectural ensemble of Ciudad Vieja.
You can visit the Solís Theatre for a performance or a tour. Tours allow you to see the historic interiors and learn about the theatre's development, but the language, hours, and rooms included depend on the programme. For a performance, study the seating plan: some side seats may have a restricted view.
Before visiting, check the official calendar, entry rules, and availability of a tour in the desired language. The theatre can easily be combined with Plaza Independencia, the old town, and the cathedral square in a single walking route.
