Caracas has a busy if somewhat under-funded arts scene. The principal stage for theater, dance and classical music is the
Complejo Cultural Teresa Carreño (tel: (212) 574 9122; website:
www.teatroteresacarreno.gob.ve) on Paseo Colón in Parque Los Caobos. It hosts frequent productions by the
Compañía Nacional de Teatro and top dance groups such as the
Ballet Nuevo Mundo de Caracas. Another famous theater venue is the
Ateneo de Caracas (tel: (212) 573 4400),
also in Los Caobos, and you can see more productions at the younger, funkier
Teatro Transnocho Cultural (tel: (212) 993 1910; website:
www.transnochocultural.com) in the Centro Comercial Paseo Las Mercedes.
Caracas has long been an exciting hub for salsa singers and Latin pop. For live salsa bands, try age-old salsateca
El Maní es Así, Avenida Francisco Solano López, and for quality live jazz, the place is the
Juan Sebastián Bar, Avenida Venezuela.
Local newspapers, and especially the
El Universal on Sundays, have listings of upcoming shows. There are also plenty of cinemas to choose from, including two in the
Centro Comercial Sambil on Avenida Libertador in Chacao.
