Municipal de Santiago - National Opera of Chile is the country's oldest active theatre, situated at the heart of the city, and a cornerstone of the performing and musical arts in Chile. The institution’s core value lies in the collaborative work of the Philharmonic Orchestra, the Santiago Ballet and the Municipal Choir.
A dialogue between the universal repertoire and contemporary creation
The Santiago Municipal Theatre incorporates into its artistic programme the diversity of works from the universal repertoire, as well as national creations and theatrical innovation. Its programme engages Chilean society on a cultural level and provides a space for encounter and exchange centred on the artistic experience.
Preservation and transmission of a unique intangible heritage
As part of its commitment to creating conditions for access and opportunities for audience development, the theatre considers it its duty to ensure the care, appreciation, transmission and revitalisation of its cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, promoted through artistic and technical training and the creation of a space for the transfer of knowledge and skills to professionals in the performing arts and culture.
