Ponce - Pearl Theater Teatro La Perla

Designed by Juan Bertoli Calderoni in the 1860's, the Pearl Theater (Teatro La Perla) is a neoclassical structure with a six-columned entrance. The building was damaged in the 1918 earthquake, but rebuilt 20 years later with better acoustics technology. With a capacity of only 1,047 the public get dressed up and gather in the music hall for plays and concerts.

The lobby of the Teatro La Perla has a small museum dedicated to the history of the building and past shows that have come and gone. There are always interesting shows coming to the theatre. Check with the box office in the ornate lobby to see what's playing soon.
