Teatro Colón

With its impressive architecture, exceptional acoustics and rich history, Teatro Colón ranks among the world’s greatest opera houses

– on par with La Scala in Milan or the Vienna State Opera. As part of an extensive renovation, Waagner-Biro supplied some of the most advanced stage engineering systems: three automatic covers for stage platforms with screwjack drives, three rope-driven stage platforms and six vertical backstage winches. In addition, the company delivered two audience platforms with 19 m travel height and a freight elevator with a 50 m² platform. In 2010, just in time for Argentina’s 200th independence anniversary, the Teatro Colón was proudly reopened – blending historic splendor with modern technology.
