Work has resumed on the first modern performing arts theater in Yucatan to be built outside Merida.
Valladolid’s Teatro José María Iturralde Traconis, named for a historical governor from that city, will cost more than 22.6 million pesos. The building is on the site of a former school, also named for the 20th-century politician.
It will fit an audience of 640 and include a stage, orchestra pit and several dressing rooms.
A lobby has sat idle on Calle 43, in the Centro, for years. But work on the stage and auditorium was abandoned 10 years ago when its budget was cut. It is now projected to open in January 2020.
