In 1998, the government of Montevideo started a major reconstruction of the theatre, which included two columns designed by Philippe Starck. The reconstruction was completed in 2004 with the re-opening taking place in August of that year. Acoustic studies of the rehabilitation project was entrusted to Jerome Falala of the French studio Avel Acoustique. Tomás Giribaldi's La Parisina, considered the first Uruguayan national opera, was premiered at the Solís on 14 September 1878.

Very nice tour of a lovely opera house. Excellent guide and tour in English. Short tour but interesting.

It’s a oldest theater in South America. They have guide tour by Spanish, Portuguese,and English. As of May, 2023, it starts from 16:00, and duration is around 1 hour. You can buy the ticket without booking. In our case, only 5 people joined English tour. But the guide explained theater history and characters with fluent English. If you go Montevideo, Solis theater is one of the best option.

Our tour guide was doing his first tour in English and it was awesome! We learned so much about the origin and evolution of the theater. Fascinating and beautiful!
