Translations:Amira De la Rosa/10/en

From 1970 to 1972, Amira de la Rosa collaborated closely with other artists in the opening of the theater that would later carry her name. On June 25, 1982, President Turbay Ayala inaugurated the Amira de la Rosa Theater with a presentation of Eddy Toussaint's Ballet of Canada. At the time, Barranquilla did not have a cultural venue of importance that could allow for presentations of artists and shows of national and international stature. In 2018, the Society for Public Improvements, in collaboration with Barranquilla’s Town Hall, formalized the donation of the Amira de la Rosa Theater to the Banco de la República, in order to begin the redesign and restoration of the heritage building. With an investment of 60 billion pesos by the Banco de la República, it is estimated that the works, which will also include the creation of a large cultural complex and reconstruction of the theater, which the Ministry of Culture declared an asset of cultural interest in 2006, will take approximately four years.
