Inclusions
Unlike many of Buenos Aires’ large-scale tango theatres, Gala Tango is set inside a lavish Belle Époque mansion, echoing the city’s early 20th-century European influences. Its marble staircases, ornate chandeliers, and intimate salon create an atmosphere of exclusivity, where every detail, from the fine linens to the soft candlelight, adds to the sense of occasion.
The mansion that houses Gala Tango dates back to Buenos Aires’ Belle Époque era, when French-inspired architecture flourished. Its design reflects the cosmopolitan aspirations of the city’s elite in the early 1900s.
Originally built as a private residence, the property was later restored and adapted as a dinner-show theatre, blending historic charm with modern amenities.
From its inception, Gala Tango positioned itself as more than a tango show, incorporating folkloric traditions such as malambo and boleadoras. This blend remains one of its defining features.
Over the years, Gala Tango has become a must-visit experience in Buenos Aires, attracting celebrities, diplomats, and tourists alike. Its reputation for sophistication and exclusivity distinguishes it within the city’s crowded tango scene.
Gala Tango opened in 2004 inside a beautifully restored Belle Époque mansion in San Telmo, one of Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhoods.
