The Teatro General San Martín (General San Martín Theater) is an important public theater in Buenos Aires, located on Corrientes Avenue and adjacent to the cultural center of the same name. It is one of the major theaters in Argentina and offers venues for the representation of stage works and film, as well as art exhibitions. ==History== Projects for the construction of this theater date to 1908, when Socialist Congressman Alfredo Palacios introduced a bill to that effect. A similar resolution passed the Deliberative Council of the City of Buenos Aires, which authorized the creation of the Buenos Aires People's Theater, and the bill was signed by Mayor Joaquin de Anchorena. On November 26, 1936, Mayor Mariano de Vedia and Mitre provided for the construction of a building to house the ''Teatro del Pueblo'', and on December 23, a theater located on 1530 Corrientes Avenue was expropriated for the purpose. Directed by Leonidas Barletta, the New Theatre received a 25-year concession from the city, though a nationalist 1943 coup d'état resulted in its rescission on December 3. The Municipal Theater of Buenos Aires was inaugurated in its stead on May 23, 1944, for the promotion and expansion of the theatre in Argentina. The institution was renamed ''Teatro General San Martín'' (in honor of the centennial of the death of General José de San Martín, the hero of the Argentine War of Independence) by order of President Juan Perón, in 1950. Perón commissioned local architects Mario Roberto Álvarez and Macedonio Ruiz for the design of a new building for the San Martín, and work on the present building began June 24, 1954. The new building was inaugurated on May 25, 1960, but began operating the following year. Becoming one of the most influential cultural centers Latin America, its 30,000 m², distributed among thirteen floors and four basements, would include three performance stages, several exhibition halls and a cinema. Both the theater and adjacent cultural center were extensively renovated between 2010 and 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ya está lista la nueva fachada del teatro San Martín )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teatro General San Martín」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
