2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Yucatán and Campeche States, Mexico

The Teatro Mérida, also known as the Teatro Armando Manzanero, opened as a movie theater in 1949. Today it hosts mostly live performances which range from classical and even some experimental acts to more family-friendly dance spectacles.

Pop into the university's main building to check the bulletin boards just inside the entrance for upcoming cultural events. The Ballet Folklórico de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán presents a combination of music, dance, and theater performances (think Mexico City's famous Ballet Folklórico de México, but on a smaller scale). The shows are typically free, though the schedule is inconsistent.
