The famous ballet troupe known for the discipline provided by its founder Doña Amalia Hernández.
First of all, seeing any show in the Palacio would be worth --the building is an architectural and historical masterpiece that was once home to Hernán Cortés. The second floor walls are adorned with murals painted by Diego Rivera to portray the history of Mexican civilization, and it's fabulous to stand right in front of them and absorb the detail. (There is no admission fee, incredibly.) The Ballet itself is delightful visually and musically, and it also tells the story of Mexican history, from the Aztecs to the modern day. Costumes are beautiful, and talented dancers are full of talent and spirit. The evening felt like another example of the strong cultural pride that seemed so evident to us on this trip.. We left the theatre and had a leisurely walk through the Alameda Central (famously depicted in yet another Rivera mural) to our hotel. Considering the bitter cold we usually feel in New England in late February, this was particularly appreciated!

This performance center features frequent concerts given by both international stars and Mexico's top musical artists.
Surprise my wife with tickets to Rafael. The whole experience was grand. Beautiful building with excellent sound. Great seats all around. Just get there early for a concert that you’re going to. When you leave it is crazy like any other concert. Do not take the taxis! You see many of them but no one’s taking them because they’re so expensive after the shows. Uber is great and all the locals use them over the taxis. They’re also half the price.
