Buenos Aires: Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner

About This Experience

Piazzolla Tango stages its show inside the Galería Güemes, a glass-roofed 1915 arcade off Florida Street that is worth arriving early for on its own. The theatre downstairs is one of the most ornate rooms in the Buenos Aires microcentro, and it is the reason this show feels considerably more expensive than it is.

The programme is built around Astor Piazzolla, the composer who dragged tango out of the dance hall and into the concert repertoire. A live sextet and Argentine vocalists perform Las Cuatro Estaciones del Tango — his Four Seasons — alongside older standards, so you get both the classical form and the nuevo tango that broke it open. The performance runs about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Three ways to book the same seat: admission only, admission with two drinks, or a three-course dinner with unlimited drinks served before the curtain. Vegetarian, vegan and coeliac menus are available if you flag them when you book. With more than 2,600 reviews it is by far the most-booked tango show in the city, and the show-only ticket is the cheapest seat at any major Buenos Aires tango house.
