Degollado Theater (Teatro Degollado) Tours and Activities
78 Reviews
Across from the Guadalajara Cathedral, the Teatro Degollado looms in stony, neoclassical glory. Corinthian columns form a massive portico topped with a marble relief of Apollo and the nine muses. The length of the building’s rear wall is adorned with a stylish sculptural depiction of Guadalajara’s history; a fountain runs along the base.
The inside is even more over-the- top, with five tiers of gilded balconies and a ceiling frescoed with scenes from Dante’s Divine Comedy. A red-and-gold color scheme is augmented with frippery, including a fearsome golden eagle above the stage. The eagle holds a chain in its beak: as legend has it, the theater will stand until the day the golden eagle drops its chain.
The theater was completed in 1866, at the height of Mexico’s great theatrical renaissance. Today the lavishly appointed building is home to classically Guadalajaran institutions, including International Mariachi competitions, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Jalisco, the Ballet Folklorico of the University of Guadalajara, and the Guadalajara City Ballet, as well as traveling performances and limited run shows.

My name is Diego. I have a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master in social studies from the University of Guadalajara.
I created this tour to introduce visitors to the history, culture and architecture of Guadalajara, my home city.
Walking in the city's historic barrios, plazas and markets, you will discover its unique personality while learning how historical events have shaped its urban and social landscape throughout the centuries.
You will also discover Guadalajara's fundamental landmarks, including:
1. The Cathedral
2. Hospicio Cabañas (home to the murals of Jose Clemente Orozco)
3. Mercado Libertad (the biggest indoor market in Latin America)
4. Chapultepec cultural corridor.
Whether a family with children, a couple, a group of friends or a solo traveler, my tours are highly flexible/adaptable to meet your specific interests.
By the end of our private walking tour (no groups!), you will have a wider understanding of Guadalajara and Mexico's past and present.
