If you’ve ever wanted to discover the stories hidden in the hallways and on the stages of the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris, this will be a unique opportunity. The venue will open its doors for “Escena Oculta,” a free immersive tour that will allow visitors to discover its history through a theatrical experience featuring live music and stage performances.
Unlike a traditional guided tour, attendees will be welcomed by Esperanza Iris herself—played by an actress in character—who will lead the tour while sharing anecdotes, historical moments, and episodes that shaped the life of this iconic theater in the Historic Center.
Here’s what the tour of the Esperanza Iris Theater will be like
During the experience, the audience will explore different areas of the theater while witnessing scenes specially created to bring the venue’s history to life. Live music will accompany the tour, transforming the visit into a sensory experience that invites visitors to get to know the building from a much closer and more intimate perspective.
The tour is limited in size so that each group can enjoy the experience up close, with a closer view of the stage performances and the narrative that guides the tour.
Information for Attendees
The event will take place on July 27 and will be completely free, though advance registration is required to secure a spot. Each tour will have a maximum capacity of 40 people, so it is recommended to register in advance.
