Theatres in Bogota

Have you ever gone to a theatre in Bogota? In Bogota you can see theatres that are so old, that were constructed during the 18th century like the Colon Theatre, or modern thatres like the Wiliam Sheakspeare. The most interesting theatre for me is de Colon Theatre, wich is so important and Historic for Bogota. When I was in there when I was a kid, I could see the beautiful paintings at the roof, lots of balconys, and many rooms all around the theatre. But, when I went to take the photos, it was in maintainance because it is so old.

I went to take photos to many theatres in Bogota and I could see that there are lots of theatres of different age and shapes all around this beautiful city. Most of the old theatres are in the historic place of Bogota: La Candelaria. There I saw the Jorge Eliecer Gaitan theatre wich looks like an ancient Cinema, wich it is used for plays, concetrs, shows and for movies premieres. Other ancient theatre is the Colon theatre, wich have an ancient architecture, frescoes or paintings and it is only used for plays and important events. There are modern theatres in Bogota wich don't have history, are for example the William Sheakspeare wich it is used for plays and special events and it is located in the Anglo Colombiano School. Also the Castellana theatre, were it is the place of the best plays in Bogota. There are many theatres in Bogota but they are not so popular.

Theatres in Bogota are so interesting, specially during the Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro, or seasons of concerts like the "Temporada de Zarzuela" in the huge theatre The Teatro Colsubsidio. You will grow culturally, adquire knowledge about Bogota and other cultures y you start to go to the theatres of the capital. You want to have great experiences, see great architecture, and adquire a lot of knowledge? Theatres of Bogota are exactly th right places for you.
