Apartment Buenos Aires

The Gay Pride Parade in Buenos Aires is held every year the first or second Saturday of November at 18, starting from Plaza de Mayo, progressing to Plaza Congresso and ending at Avenida de Mayo. It is one of the major events in Buenos Aires.

Participants recall the first ever gay assembly, formed in 1969 in the city. Nowadays the parade represents an occasion for gay people, transvestites, drag queens and bisexuals to show themselves to the community, taking courage from their difference and defend their rights.

Sometimes this event in Buenos Aires turns into a political act, in support of civil unions and against the prejudices at work, with gay people demanding equal rights to heterosexuals.

However, the Gay Pride Parade in Buenos Aires is also a party, and like every party music and dance have a central role. People relish themselves to the rhythm of samba and other music genres, in a general spirit of fun.

In sum, the Gay Pride Parade is a multifaceted entertaining festival, that can be enjoyed also by heterosexual who are simply curious.

The 2010 calendar of events in Buenos Aires is, as usual, exceptionally rich of festivals. Among them, we recommend the Día de la Tradición, from the 30th October to the 10th November, at its 71st edition.

As all the years, in Sant’Antonio de Areco different activities are performed by gauchos, who proudly celebrate in their traditional customs this long-established festivity.

Horse-riding and open air games are the major activities. Folk music concerts along with traditional dances also enliven the nights during the Día de la Tradición, that locals and tourists enjoy together.

In fact, the Día de la Tradición is one of the best way to come in close contact with the navites and to learn about their culture.

This great event in Buenos Aires wouldn’t be complete without photographic shows and lectures on local customs, which are regularly organized and that provide visitors with very interesting information about gauchos culture.

The Teatro Colόn, erected in 1908 in Buenos Aires, is rated among the best five opera houses in the world.
The building covers an area of 8200 square metres, bordered by 9 de Julio Avenue, Libertad Street (where the main entrance is), Arturo Toscanini Street and Tucúman Street. It has a seating capacity of over 2400 people plus standing room for 1000.

Construction works began in 1889 under the direction of Francesco Tamburini, who designed it in a distinctive Italian style, but following his death and a number of unforeseen events and financial problems, the theatre was only completed 19 years later, with some changes decided by Belgian architect Julio Dormal.

The Teatro Colόn officially opend on 25th May, when the worldwide famous opera Aida by Italian composer Verdi was performed, confirming the absolute success of the theatre.
Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Carlo Bergonzi are just some of the many famous Italian stars who have appeared on the stage of the Teatro Colόn over the years, while among the greatest composers Arturo Toscanini stands out.

After some years of refurbishment, started in 2006, the theatre reopened this year last May, with a gala concert and 3D animations, during which La bohème by Puccini and the Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky were played.
