Theatre takes centre stage. World Theatre Day
Today, all the world's a stage. Every year on March 27, the curtains rise to thunderous applause in celebration of World Theatre Day—an ode to an art form that has influenced the masses for centuries. The day aims to promote theatre and raise awareness of how it has preserved ancient cultures, provided social commentary throughout history, and even helped form our language. Seen in the image today is the Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires, a symbol of Argentina's rich theatrical heritage. Built in 1908, the theatre is renowned for its grand architecture and exceptional acoustics, making it one of the world's premier opera houses. Over the years, it has hosted performances by legendary figures such as Enrico Caruso, Richard Strauss, Lily Pons, Marina de Gabaráin, Joss Stone, Branford Marsalis and many more. On this day, dedicated to drama, let's appreciate this art form that continues to narrate stories in the most spectacular way!
