If it was not the Colon that burned, do you know of another Opera house that did burn around the 1880 timeframe? The reason I am asking is that my wifes great aunt was in Buenos Aires when an opera house burned. She saved the five children for whom she was a nanny. I also need the name of the family for whom she was a nanny. Horace Hi – Did the Teatro Colon burn in 1888, is that the reason it closed?

I'm not exactly sure, but I assume la Ópera de Cámara del Colón is a smaller group under the auspices of Teatro Colón that present short works. Their performances are at Teatro SHA (Sociedad Hebraica Argentina). I've not been to one of these performances but I'm sure it's worth attending if you're in town and like opera. Hi John,
