Teatro de la Ciudad
The Teatro de la Ciudad (Theater of the City) was built as the "Teatro Esperanza Iris" (Esperanza Iris Theatre) in 1918 and is now one of Mexico City’s public venues for cultural events. The theater is located in the historic center of Mexico City on Donceles Street 36.〔 〕
==The former Esperanza Iris Theatre==
The current theater building was constructed in 1918, on the site of the prior Teatro Xicoténcatl.〔 〕 It was originally named after diva Esperanza Iris. Iris, born María Esperanza Bonfil, was an operetta singer from the state of Tabasco active in the early 20th century. Her career was most successful in Mexico City, Havana and Madrid, but she toured extensively in the Americas. Some of her best known works are ''La viuda alegre, ''El conde de Luxemburgo ''and ''La princesa del dólar''. She also acted in a number of films in the 1930s.〔 〕〔
The theatre was partially funded by Iris, from earnings from a recent tour. The architects were Capetillo Servín and Federico Mariscal who based the work on the La Scala opera house in Milan, Italy.〔 The theatre was opened on 25 May 1918, two days after the Mexican singer returned from South America. The event was attended by President Venustiano Carranza and his cabinet. The opening work was a staging of the play ''La Duquesa del Bal-Tabarín'' and Iris herself sand some of the musical numbers. After its opening, it was the most important cultural venue in the city, until the long-postponed opening of the Palacio de Bellas Artes in the 1930s.〔 Despite the ongoing war in Mexico, Iris manage to attract a number of international stars to the theatre, including Enrico Caruso and Anna Pavlova.〔
