Filharmonica de Acapulco

Description:

• You wouldn't expect to find an excellent symphony orchestra in a Mexican beach resort but that's exactly what the "Pearl of the Pacific" has in the Acapulco Philharmonic. Boasting over 75 members and performing more than 90 concerts annually across the state, the Orquestra Filharmonica de Acapulco makes its home in the 1,100-seat Juan Ruíz de Alarcón Theater. The Philharmonic was founded in 1998 and has performed with such distinguished international soloists as Placido Domingo, who maintains a home in Acapulco.
  
  Audience members who are used to American or Canadian ticket prices will be pleasantly surprised at the inexpensive cost of a night of well-played music. The theater is located in the Golden Zone next door to the convention center in a large park where you will also find the tourism office. There's not much in terms of intermission refreshments so plan on dining before or after the performance.
