A gala featuring ballet, mariachi, and jarocha music
It is a Commemorative Gala Performance in which Amalia Hernández’s Ballet Folklórico de México will be accompanied by her mariachi and jarocho musical groups.
The performance is part of the celebrations marking the 82nd anniversary of the opening of the National History Museum. This museum opened its doors on September 27, 1944, at Chapultepec Castle, one of Mexico City’s most recognizable historic sites.
In addition to enjoying the Ballet Folklórico’s choreography, the audience will be able to hear the music accompanying the show live. The entire event will take place outdoors on the Explanada de Armas.
How will access to Chapultepec Castle work?
Although the performance will begin at 1:00 p.m., please note that access to the venue will begin at 11:30 a.m. The public will be admitted in stages and admission will be subject to the maximum permitted capacity. Once the esplanade reaches capacity, access will be restricted.
It’s also important to note that there will be a limited number of seats, and these will be reserved exclusively for seniors and people with disabilities.
