It's only natural that while on vacation, you take the time to enjoy a bit of culture. If you are fortunate enough to visit the Teatro Jose Peon Contreras in Merida, Mexico, you will find that you found a priceless jewel in a country unfortunately known for less high brow entertainments. You won't find any street food vendors or nightclubs with flashing lights in this opera house. You will find terrific productions normally chosen by the Yucatan Institute of Culture, as this organization typically sponsors most of the productions held here. While you are in town or before you arrive, check to see what events are scheduled during your visit. You might find that the Yucatan Symphonic Orchestra is playing. It would be really spectacular if you could catch one of the dramatic and thought provoking operas that the Teatro Jose Peon Contreras try so hard to offer.
The building itself is just about as stunning as any production you could see inside. Most people don't expect a Mexican opera house to have the talent they do in terms of set design and function as well as musical and acting talent. Especially if you are seeing an opera, be sure to keep your eyes on the every changing set. The outside of the opera house has a decided Italian feel that may throw you off at first, but there is no denying the charm and beauty of this place both inside and out. Make time for this awesome attraction. You won't be sorry you did.
