I strongly recommend everyone to visit this magnificent building. He wanted to remind the rich that the lower classes were the ones who build that jewel. It depicts a woman with and infant on her laps representing misery. In fact there is only one sculpture inside the lobby area which was built by a Costa Rican artist. The vast majority of sculptures and paintings were done by Italian artists. The rich people did not know that the best acoustic and view of the orchestra was being enjoyed by the ones on the isolated floor with wooden pews. The richest people did not want to share the floor with the poorest ones, so a third floor was built with exterior separate entrances to those lower classes. The ones in power, were the owners of the coffee plantations, the provided a small percentage of money to build this master piece, the biggest part was provided by the lower classes via taxes. It was built on the OligarquÃa Cafetalera era, to be more precise by the lower class. This National Theater is without a doubt a national treasure that holds the past trapped within its walls. One of our most beautiful and iconic buildings ever built.
