The Teatro Municipal of Antofagasta experienced a record week as all four paid symphonic performances scheduled between Thursday and Sunday sold out, according to executive director Marcos Celedón. He highlighted the shift from a tradition of free cultural events, noting that ticket revenue supports local artists, staff and future programming, including a weekend series and a Children’s Day concert by the Orquesta Académica de Antofagasta. Celedón also addressed a recent ticketing error, confirming refunds and rescheduling for affected patrons.
