Señor Tango Dinner and Show Buenos Aires: 3-hour tango spectacle

Three hours of tango, dinner, and a live orchestra that recalls D'Arienzo's Golden Age sound

Señor Tango is a dinner-and-show experience in Buenos Aires's Barrio de Barracas, the city's largest tanguería, seating 1,500 guests for an evening of tango performance with live orchestra and theatrical production. You choose between dinner with the show or show only; transfers from downtown hotels are included in some options. The performance features Ernesto Franco, who played bandoneon for D'Arienzo, leading an orchestra that echoes the rhythm and style of tango's Golden Age.

The Experience

Señor Tango sits in Barrio de Barracas and holds 1,500 people—the scale alone sets it apart from smaller tango venues. The show itself is built like Moulin Rouge: dancers, musicians, elaborate staging and special effects that fill the room. Towards the end of the evening, Ernesto Franco (D'Arienzo's former bandoneon player) takes the stage with an orchestra that plays the music of D'Arienzo, one of tango's most rhythmically precise composers from its Golden Age. That live orchestra moment is what the evening builds toward.

You pick your option at checkout: dinner with the show, or the show alone. If you choose dinner, the meal comes as part of the package. If you choose show only, you can buy drinks at the venue. Transfers from downtown Buenos Aires hotels are included, so you don't arrange your own way there and back. The dress code is smart casual. The whole evening runs about three hours.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and all transportation options accommodate wheelchairs as well. The experience suits any fitness level—you're seated for the duration, watching the stage.
