The Experience
The show runs 1 hour 15 minutes inside a theatre that was built as a cinema and restored to its original Art Deco detail. More than 30 artists — dancers in period costumes, live musicians and singers — perform choreographed tango stories that trace the history of the dance through Buenos Aires' golden age. The staging, lighting and music are all built around the tango itself, not around a dinner table, so the performance holds the room's attention from start to finish.
If you add the dinner option, you eat a three-course meal before the show begins. The menu mixes Argentine culinary tradition with international touches and includes vegetarian choices. Wine is unlimited, as are soft drinks. The show-only option comes with drinks but no food. Either way, shared transportation picks you up from your neighbourhood — Downtown, Recoleta, Puerto Madero or San Telmo — between 7:15pm and 8:30pm, depending on where you're staying. The whole evening runs between 2 and 4 hours depending on which option you book.
The theatre is wheelchair accessible throughout, and infants can sit on an adult's lap or travel in a stroller. Public transportation stops are nearby if you prefer to make your own way there.

Is this one for you?The show-only option works if you want tango and drinks without a meal commitment; the dinner packages suit an evening when you want the full experience — food, wine and performance together — without building the night yourself.
