Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are at least one big ballroom at this old theatre which has been entirely remodeled 8 years ago. There is also a very good snack bar close to another little theatre just inside the Solis Theatre. Is the "Zavala Muniz" little theatre where you can have modern theatre to enjoy.

Several days after Carnival ended, Carnival performers put on a closed-door performance for our cruise line Azamara (Amazing Evening). This theater is special and the performance was very memorable. The performers and venue were excellent! Bravo.

We saw a production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Teatro Solís. Because of a strike, opening night was cancelled and instead they offered their dress rehearsal on the opening night date free and open to the public. The performance was superb. The singers and orchestra were perfect. The costuming and sets, which were contemporary, modular and used projections, were interesting. I think I might have preferred more traditional settings and costumes, however, overall it was a great performance. The theater itself, built in 1856, is very much like the opera houses in Europe, beautiful and elegant. Entrance to the art exhibit in the basement gallery is free and open to the public.

We went not for a performance but the 4pm tour which is conducted in several languages, just 150U pesos each. To our surprise each language group has their own guide, our English tour was just us two. And what an excellent guide we had, a young man but unfortunately I don't recall his name. Very informative and entertaining we had good chats. The theatre is very attractive. Not as large or extravagantly decorated as Buenos Aires but nevertheless very nice indeed and perhaps better for shows being more intimate. To hear about the history and see the main hall and particularly the theater itself was wonderful.

On any tour of the Old City, you'll be dropped off at Independence Plaza. This theater is quite nearby.
It opened in 1856 and the building and looks like it came from Rome or Athens. It was designed by an Italian architect Carlo Zucchi.
I originally thought it was just a museum but it has quite an active life for music, arts, acting, etc.

Excellent guided tour that tells the history of the Theater. Magnificent and very interesting place. Super affordable cost to visit. Guided tours that last around 50 minutes. Excellent guide. Negative point: only accepts payment in cash (cash).

We were very excited, but it really wasn't what we expected. To begin with, the attention at the box office was heavy and inattentive. Afterwards, the guide spoke very quickly and the information provided was superficial. The place is very beautiful, but the service needs to improve, especially so that you don't feel like you are being kicked out of the theater.

I checked the website and sped through my entire day to get there in time for the guided tour which was at 4pm.
When we got there, we were informed that there was no service... and that it would only be available again in October. In other words, lost trip. Unfortunately, many other tourists had the same disappointment.

We were on a tour and asked to be dropped off early at the end of the tour. We landed near the Theatre Solis. I think it was the very first thing to grab our attention. Really kind of looked out of place. Made us think we were somewhere in Europe.

We tried to get a tour of the theatre when we were there, but they were not open, so we just viewed the outside. Based on Google Images, the interior looks very nice and worth touring. The outside is rather plain. This would be another site you can see easily get to from the cruise port.

Eu consigo visitar a sala principal do teatro fazendo o passeio sem guia?
Written 30 April 2019
Sem guias não há como entrar nas dependências do teatro, exceto na cafeteria que tem entrada por dentro e porta exclusiva para a rua. O local é bem seguro. Fora do passeio, só indo a algum espetáculo. 😊

Hey there !
I will be in Montevideo on September 17 , there is an opera I would like to watch but I am afraid I tickets sold out until I arrive .
Is there anyway I can buy tickets in advance or online ?
Thanks for reply in advance
Written 9 August 2018
for some reason, the page is not publishing my reply. You CAN buy online through a ticket selling system, connected to the State owned Phone Company. The place is called Tickantel. Look for it in internet, and once inside, look for your preferred show

Gostaria de assistir a uma peça no teatro solis, mas não consegui comprar os ingressos antecipados pela internet. Geralmente é possivel comprar no mesmo dia na bilheteria do teatro?
Written 2 July 2018
Normalmente, sim. Lógico que dependerá da peça e da época do ano.

Qual o horário da visita guiada em Português? Preciso agendar ou comprar o ingresso antes ou dá pra fazer tudo quando chegar lá?

Alana, lembro que fui ao final da manhã. Horário exato, não lembro. Compra-se o ingresso na hora e os grupos são divididos por idioma no foyer.

A visita guiada deve ser agendada ou apenas chegar antes?

Não precisa agendar, mas precisa comprar o ingresso antes sim, para não perder os grupos.

Antonio, não há a obrigatoriedade de um traje, até porque a cultura Uruguaia é bem tranquila quanto a isso (eu vivo aqui). Claro que para um espetáculo mais erudito, como ópera, as pessoas vestem-se de maneira mais forma, como uma calça e camisa, mas não imposto ou que vá impedir sua entrada. Uma dica é fazer o tour pelo teatro com o guia, você conhece muito da história do teatro e da cidade.
Written 4 December 2017
No caso de visita guiada a compra foi na hora, não havia filas e pude escolher o idioma. Precisei aguardar somente alguns minutos.
