centro cultural miguel angel asturias - teatro nacional

Imagine what once was a military fortress became a magical cultural place in the shape of volcanoes. Efrain regions left this amazing place especially built for you. 5 complexes, a great view to the city, excellent acoustics, vigilance, low cost parking lot. How can people say there's no cultural activity in Guatemala?

From regular plays to ballet to concerts, there's pretty much always something to see here.The complex is amazingly huge and located right in the center of the city. The theater is, by far, the best in the whole city. Parking is huge and the premises are always maintained in a perfect manner and I personally consider them around the safest.At all costs, however, try to NOT eat inside. Food prices are way overboard and the quality is average at best, not to mention that there hardly is any variety. If you're in town you should check out the scheduling and, if there's anything, you most definitely should see it. The experience is very well worth it.

It is really a complex consisting in several artistic spaces: an outdoor theater, the chamber theater, the main theater and the Museum of the Old Fort of San José that hosts a small military museum, where a replica of the first fortified city of Mesoamerica, the Mayan city of Punta de Chiminos is exhibited.The National School of Art and the National Cultural Radio also operate in the complex.The complex designed and painstakingly built by Efrain Recinos, one of the most renowned Guatemala artists, took about 16 years to build and is inspired in the Maya Culture. It is located on a hill overlooking the Civic Center, the heart of modern Guatemala City. It is probably the main icon of modern Guatemalan architecture. Efrain Recinos devoted a big part of his artistic career to the Nationa Theater and actually lived there during a big part of the construction and even after its inauguration in 1978.You can visit during the day, it is a very open space, in a park-like environment, with great views of the Civic Center and the mountains that surround the valley.Definitely worth your time. Should be over in 1-2 hours. I just visited for a jazz dance show where my daughter danced. It still impresses me when I visit.

my husband visited it with his friend from the states and said it was an interesting place would recommend it to out of town quest. I have not seen it myself

Guatemala's National Theater is really a master piece, design by the great Maestro Efrain Recinos (1928-2011+). An architectural piece inspired by the Mayan culture but built and expressed in its unique design.

The National Theater of the Cultural Center is inspired by what was the Mayan culture. Without falling into the copismo, it is a true integration of landscape and iconology Mayanist within contemporary architecture. In other words, these "functional sculptures" are an example of true originality. Thus it could be said that nowhere is the influence of Greek culture repetitive, which is a good example of local magnificence the rest of the American continent and in the world, must be assumed to be universal local level.

we where there for a concert with some friends it was like 4pm and we took pictures very nice ones besides the building, this place has nice backgrounds for pictures and nice environment for unique pictures

El Teatro se presta para cualquier presentación, su arquitectura es magnífica y espaciosa. En esta ocasión los bailarines de Kiev estuvieron fantásticos, Las entradas a los servicios es un poco lenta.

Si visitan la ciudad de Guatemala, es un lugar obligatorio para visitar.Lo Bueno: Arquitectura guatemalteca en su máximo nivel.Lo malo: Esta en el abandono, no se invierte en su mantenimiento.Lo feo: los daños que hizo una actividad de motocross organizada por los vándalos de la municipalidad,

Venir a Guatemala y no visitar nuestro "Palacio Nacional", hoy Palacio de la Cultura, es perderce una de las maravillas arquitectónicas de nuestro país y del mundo, sus suntuosos salones de recepciones para los visitantes gobernantes, sus pinturas, vitrales y murales, y ver el Km 0 de nuestro país es asombroso, el ambiente místico de cada uno de los gobernantes que pasó por éste suntuoso palacio sesiente en el aire.

Desde que uno ve a lo lejos el Teatro Nacional empieza a sentir la magia del espectaculo que lo espera, sea cual sea.El parqueo es amplio y los alrededores son muy bonitos con jardín y arboles.

Joya arquitectónica del excepcional artista guatemalteco Efrain Recinos y de la ciudad de Guatemala! Vale la pena visitarlo y/o asistir a las actividades que se presentan!

Este lugar es precioso, un ícono de la ciudad de Guatemala, pero no es realmente una atracción turística, es decir, no hay una entrada del todo libre, ni un guía ni nadie que reciba al turista; a menos que vayas a una obra de teatro, entonces sí, o que vayas a visitar una exposición a la escuela de artes plásticas, de lo contrario estará cerrado y lleno de estudiantes. Si aun así lo quieres visitar, toma en cuenta de encontrarás muchos accesos cerrados y que no es un lugar para pasear. pero te gustará, es un edificio bello para tomar fotografías y para los amantes de la arquitectura y del legado del gran maestro Efraín Recinos.

Vale la pena visitar el centro, y conocer la Gran sala, el teatro de cámara y el teatro al aire libre. Generalmente los jueves y sábados en la noche hay actividades culturales. Cuenta con suficiente parqueo.

Visité por primera vez el Teatro Nacional en la apertura del Eurocine, me pareció un sitio majestuoso, de una gran arquitectura, pero lamentablemente un poco descuidada, se nota que las alfombras y áreas comunes no se remodelan desde su inauguración y eso le da aires de antaño, adicionalmente el olor de las alfombras te hace sentir que te encuentras atrapado en su sitio que vivió sus glorias en años 70, pero a pesar de todo se conversa bien
