Santiago is a wonderful city. Terrific restaurants and many wonderful sights to see but the night we went to the ballet was one I will never forget. The theater is magnificent, reminiscent of the Paris Opers House. We had lovely seats and were shocked by how inexpensive they were. I have seen ballet performances all around the world but their production of Raymonda was breathtaking. The costumes and sets were lavish. The company was one of the finest I’ve ever seen. Go!

This was a very professional production of cultural dance and music that was very enjoyable and which clearly has a lot of thought and planning behind it. The dancers give it their all and are dedicated to their performances, and the music is beautiful. This isn't some hokey, jaded tourist trap but rather dedicated artists who are clearly enthusiastic about their culture and history (rightfully so) and do a great job sharing it with visitors to the island. The show as an hour long which was just about right for me. The dance and music stand alone well-enough but I would agree with one of the other reviewers here that maybe a short explanation of a dance segment here and there, and maybe a keep word or two to listen, to would have been interesting. This was done for one spotlight performance and was well-done without detracting from the flow of the performance.

Somos un escenario de clase mundial y una escuela artística abierta a la comunidad. Un ejemplo único de desarrollo, integración y descentralización.
The 'Teatro' in Frutillar Bajo is a stunningly beautiful building that expects all the attention it gets. If you happen to be anywhere in the area and can see a concert (or just peek around inside), do so. The acoustics truly are world class, and Bec and I were fortunate enough to experience a free symphony show; this can typically be something one of us would doze off during or lose interest in and quietly leave, but not here! Loved it.

The Gabriela Mistral Center, GAM, is a contemporary cultural center, located in a historical building in the heart of Santiago. It is found between Alameda, the capital city’s main avenue, and the Lastarria neighborhood, a circuit that includes cinemas, arts, design, gastronomy, bookstore and parks. The building that hosts it was the emblematic building both of Salvador Allende’s government, commissioned for the UNCTAD III, and the dictatorship, when it became the seat of the military junta. GAM was inaugurated in September 2010, in order to bring culture closer to all audiences. Its mission and name are inspired by the Gabriela Mistral Metropolitan Cultural Center, inaugurated in 1972 and named after Chile’s first Nobel Prize-winning poet. GAM is a diverse and open meeting space. Today, it consists of 22.000 m2 hosting ten halls for theater, dance, circus, classic and popular music, visual arts, popular arts, and conferences. There are also five squares and a library, BiblioGAM.
Chile’s most famous poet is Gabriela Mistral who was born in 1889. She published her first work when she was 25. She lived and worked in Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Portugal and the U.S. She was the first Latin American to win the Noble Prize in Literature in 1945. Although the cultural center was named for her, it features art and history for a wide variety of Chilean artists. They also have performances regularly of contemporary artists. Nearby is an area of historic monuments on Calle Jose Victorina Lastarria. This area has many historical monuments, patrimonial architecture, and simply feels vibrant with an old-world charm. Some streets still preserve the original cobblestones. There are also a nice selection of restaurants to choose from. The Barrio Lastarria maintains its urban characteristics and traditional charm within this great city. The GAM is definitely worth your time
