The Cine Estadio opened on 4th December 1949 with Walt Disney’s "So Dear To My Heart" starring Bobby Driscoll. Initially seating was provided for 4,000, all on a single floor. The building engineer was Carlos Fauto Tomassi, and the architects Frederico Beltran and Puga. The proscenium opening bore a resemblence to that at Radio City Music Hall, New York.
The Cinema Estadio was still open as a cinema in 1971. In 1988, it became a live theatre, re-named Teatro Silvia Pinel, staging comedies, musicals and spectaculars.
