You cannot come to Buenos Aires without seeing a tango show. The last time we were here we saw the show at named for the great tango man Carlos Gardel. It traced the history of the tango with historic vignettes. This time we did something different. We went to Tango Porteño. It was just a show filled with dance but little historical prospective. The theater had once housed perhaps 2000 in seats but now is a dinner theater with around 800 chairs at tables. Platforms had been built to level the floor. It was filled with waiter boys and good service.
We had dinner as well as the show. My steak was very tasty but Ron found the Pork a bit chewy. The theater was not very full. Less than a third of the seats were filled but the performance was excellent. There was a live orchestra located on a platform at the back of the stage. Sometimes there were visible and sometimes not. There were four accordions, Four Violins, a Viola, a small and a large base violin and a piano. The lead violinist was a woman who looked stunning in a Silver floor length reflective gown. There was a troupe of 10 couples and two singers.
