1. So beautiful! I looked at the photos, first. They are wonderful.

Was thinking that it was probably an exiting assignment for those who worked on the restoration, knowing how beautiful the building was going to be, and what a showpiece for the citizens to take pride in, and to enjoy continually, and to want to show their friends, relatives from out of town.

The rooms are amazing, and the concert hall is spectacular. I have never seen one designed that way. What wonderful fun for all concerned, being able to stand so close to the orchestra while they're practicing. How memorable for the children, too!

I can't wait to see more photos as the building reaches completion.

Was happy to see Christina made sure she honored the workers who recreated the building for a new age. Good for her, and it sounds exactly like the way she chooses to do things. You may recall in her inauguration address, she also honored the Mothers of the Plaza, the courageous women who faced down the military dictatorship as they publicly protested and demanded information, and response for the kidnapping of the grandchildren from their imprisoned, tortured, often murdered sons and daughters taken by the fascists to pay the ultimate price for their opposition to the right-wing tormenters, killers of the people. Unfortunately, some of the mothers were unable to attend, some of them had already been murdered by the military dictatorship through the use of infiltrators who had them arrested, tortured, murdered.

However well the people will enjoy this great gift, celebration, you can be sure the fascist, private news publishers will go out of their way to downplay it enormously. They are the same ones who completely whitewashed the dictatorship. They should have been put out of business, but they're still ticking, even today. What a pity.

There are going to be some devoted fans of that enormous building and its events.
