Performing Arts & Culture

Santiago’s performing arts scene spans from the 19th-century neoclassical Teatro Municipal to innovative spaces like Teatro Puente, situated on a bridge over the Mapocho River. The city offers a mix of high culture, including ballet and opera, alongside contemporary art at the Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral (GAM) and Matucana 100. Historic venues like the Palacio Schacht and former convents have been repurposed into cultural centers, while independent cinemas like Cine Arte Normandie preserve a tradition of alternative film.
