Built at the end of the 19th century ‘Teatro Colon’ is the monumental symbol of the cultural life of Buenos Aires. Delight your senses in Colon’s main hall, considered a world milestone in acoustic quality.

Similarly to other artists, Segatori’s work is like an ‘urban mirror’ that reflects the cultural and historical development of ‘Porteno’ city.
