Liberator General San Martin Theater, Cordoba

The Liberator San Mart铆n Theatre is the premier stage theatre, opera house and concert hall in C贸rdoba. The landmark institution was inaugurated on April 26, 1891, as the Rivera Indarte Theatre. Popularly known as the Teatro de la Calle Ancha ("Broad Street Theatre") during the early 20th century, the grand concert hall was designed for a capacity of 1,000 spectators. Its concert hall featured a rising floor to stage level, made available during the many social balls held there since then. Among the first prominent drama theatre directors to stage productions there was Mar铆a Guerrero, who popularized the theatre of Spain in Argentina after 1897. Subsequent years saw numerous internationally renowned classical performers, as well, notably Enrico Caruso, Titta Ruffo, Tito Schipa and Arthur Rubinstein.

The theatre additionally houses the Luis de Tejeda and Rafael Grisol铆a halls, each with capacities of around 100 and mainly reserved for seminars, as well as for the theatre's Youth Orchestra. A museum of the institution's extensive stagecraft collection was organized into the Crist贸bal de Aguilar Musical and Theatre Museum in 1970.

The institution was renamed in honor of General Jos茅 de San Mart铆n in 1950 by order of President Juan Per贸n on the occasion of the centennial of the Liberator's death.
