Panama’s love affair with America is also evident on the culture stage. Indeed, the preferred cultural outing for most urbanites is the latest Hollywood blockbuster. With that said, there are a few theaters in the city that are fighting to preserve the traditional arts.
Panama City’s most famous theater is the
Teatro Nacional (tel: 262 1329; website:

various performance including dances, operas, ballets and concerts.
There are numerous other theaters around the city, among them the
