Teatro Colón 2025 – new productions and a premiere
Ongoing but albeit improving difficult economic conditions in Argentina are reflected in the forthcoming 2025 opera season at the Teatro Colón – not least in the sparse prospectus for the year, compared with the more comprehensive and substantial editions of previous years.
Like 2024, the 2025 season foresees just seven works but a diverse selection and four of them as new local productions with only two having been put on previously within the last decade.
