Its location in Polanco marks the area that was historically known for its colonial-era haciendas before urban development in the 1930s.
The amphitheater design utilizes natural elevation changes to provide stadium-style viewing for its audience.
The Angela Peralta Theater is an open-air amphitheater located within the Lincoln Park complex in the upscale Polanco neighborhood. The structure serves as a community hub for cultural performances, musical recitals, and public gatherings. Its design incorporates natural acoustics suitable for acoustic concerts and small-scale theatrical productions. The theater is situated along the main promenade of the park, surrounded by reflecting pools and structured landscaping. It honors Angela Peralta, the 19th-century Mexican operatic soprano known as the 'Mexican Nightingale.' The venue functions primarily as a public space where programming is frequently curated by local municipal authorities. It remains accessible to the general public during regular park hours.
