The Solís Theater is located in the city of Montevideo. Although the altitude of the city is only 43 meters, the origin of its name is quite interesting.

There are at least two different arguments explaining the meaning of the name ‘Montevideo’: The first is that it comes from the Portuguese “Monte vide eu” (“I see a mountain”) and the second is that it comes from the Spanish “Monte VI De Este a Oeste” (“the sixth mountain from east to west”). The full name of the city is San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo.

In the early 1840s, after the theaters in Italy had reached their prime, the idea of theater began to take shape in the minds of the people of Montevideo. At that time, there was no theater in South America that could rival the theaters in Europe, which opened the door to the Solís Theater.

During the Guerra Grande(Uruguayan civil war) of the mid-1840s, construction was halted until the early 1850s. During the war, valuable Italian marble and Siberian timber were locked in warehouses.

After the war, the project passed from Carlo Zucchi to the Spanish architect Francisco de Garmendia.

In 1856, despite the poverty, cholera and social unrest in the country, the theater opened in grand style. Verdi’s opera Ernani was the first performance of the Solís Theater.

Even after this inauguration, the theater’s deficiencies were not over, and for another 60 years the Solís Theater was at the center of many changes. During this time, the stage was enlarged, the roof was repositioned and the interiors were decorated in pastel colors and gold leaf. The huge curtain of the stage was painted by the Uruguayan painter Juan Manuel Blanes in 1875.

The fact that Carlo Zucchi was Italian had a major influence on the design of the Solís Theater.

With its charming façade, Greek-style canopy and carved columns, it is reminiscent of the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa. Zucchi Italian architect Giuseppe Piermarini designed the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. He was greatly influenced by the elliptical structure of the theater, but was most inspired by the Teatro Metastasio di Pratoin Florence.

Since its inauguration, the Solís Theater has hosted some of the most important people and performances that humanity has ever seen. Actress Sarah Bernhardt and tenor Enrico Caruso, among others, have performed there, and to this day the theater has hosted dozens of comedies, operas, ballets and orchestras. In the early 2000s, the Solís Theater was renovated, and since then its appeal has increased and it has become South America’s center for the performing arts.
