Inclusions
A night at Madero Tango is a complete cultural journey. The evening begins with dinner service, after which the lights dim and the stage comes alive with tango told through dance, live orchestral music, and multimedia storytelling. The choreography unfolds like a narrative, showing tango’s journey from its 19th-century roots to its modern-day interpretations.
Madero Tango was born during the revitalization of Puerto Madero, a former dockland area transformed into one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighborhoods. It quickly positioned itself as a symbol of this new chapter, combining tango heritage with the district’s modern identity.
Unlike older venues that preserve tango’s Golden Age ambience, Madero Tango was envisioned as a forward-looking space. It presents tango not only as nostalgia but as an evolving art form: dynamic, theatrical, and relevant to contemporary audiences.
Since opening, Madero Tango has become known for its fusion of tradition and innovation. Classic tango steps are reinterpreted with bold choreography, live orchestration, and storytelling that resonates with both locals and visitors from around the world.
Over the years, Madero Tango has hosted an array of high-profile guests, including celebrities, dignitaries, and international travelers, cementing its reputation as a must-visit venue. It stands today as a flagship of Buenos Aires’ cultural nightlife.
It opened in the early 2000s, as part of Puerto Madero’s cultural and nightlife revival.
Its modern riverside setting, panoramic glass walls, and contemporary production style make it stand apart from the city’s historic theatres.
While San Telmo venues lean into old-world charm, Madero Tango blends tradition with modern theatre technology, appealing to a wider international audience.
The venue usually opens around 7pm and runs until midnight, with dinner and the tango performance included.
