back Valpo's municipal theater

In February 27th central Chile was shaken by a huge earthquake that produced many deaths, much destruction of all kinds, a large tsunami and much havoc with traditional buildings including schools, theaters, etc. especially in the area between Concepcion and Talca.... Nonetheless, even though Valparaiso area was more than 300 km north from the earthquake epicenter, major cities like Valpo and Viña were also deeply affected loosing in a single night all major theaters in the area including Valparaiso and Viña municipal teathers.... Finally, 8 months later today we are recovering for stage Valpo's Municipal theater...
Of course, we wonder if this building indeed is ready for real staging of musical venues.... We will discover this tonight with the french string quartet Diotima, a petit musical luxury to open this stage, continuing tomorrow night with the best known mapudungun language singer Beatriz Pichi Malén singing along with Gustos Reunidos ensemble.... something not to be missed...
