As I mentioned before, we left the Salon de la Fama and headed over to the Macedonio Alcala Theater for a quick tour. While it was not the tour we expected, it was too short and perfunctory, it was fun to see the space empty. I do have shots of the exterior, but check the link, 'cause I don't feel like searching for them. The stage looks mighty inviting.
The restoration really is spectacular. I recently saw a Hungarian Gypsy violinist and his troupe of musicians and dancers. It was a strange juxtaposition. The audience of oaxaqueños was polite, but reserved. I think they all knew that they were better dancers, which they definitely are. They did have nice box seats from which to watch the action.
The center domed ceiling complete with nymphs.
The ceiling is topped by portraits of famous composers and writers. That looks like Beethoven and Victor Hugo.
Of course, that's a politician in the center.Moliere?
As Bill said, "The play's the thing...."
