Ana Torroja Mexico City: A Mecano Legend Goes Solo
Ana Torroja spent more than a decade as the voice of Mecano, the Spanish trio behind era-defining hits like ‘Hijo de la luna’ and ‘Mujer contra mujer,’ before building a solo career that still fills theaters across Latin America.
Her current run, titled ‘Se ha acabado el show,’ leans on that solo catalog alongside the Mecano songs audiences still expect, and Mexico City is one stop on a broader Latin American itinerary.
Teatro Metropolitan’s Old-World Setting
Teatro Metropolitan, opened in 1943, is one of Mexico City’s most storied concert venues, an Art Deco hall on Avenida Independencia known for its ornate ceiling and intimate sightlines compared with the capital’s larger arenas.
The venue sits close to Mexico City’s historic center, making it an easy add-on for visitors already exploring the Zocalo or the Palacio de Bellas Artes earlier in the day.
Show Details and Timing
The concert is set for Thursday, September 17, 2026, with a 9 p.m. start in Mexico City time; ticket holders should plan to arrive earlier, since downtown traffic and venue security lines can add time before doors close.
As with most Teatro Metropolitan shows, expect a single main set with no advertised opening act, running the length of a standard arena concert.
Buying Tickets and Prices
Tickets run from MXN 806 to MXN 2,294 through Ticketmaster Mexico, which works out to roughly US$47 to US$134 at the current exchange rate of about 17.2 pesos to the dollar.
As with any high-demand show, buying directly through Ticketmaster rather than resale sites is the safer route to avoid inflated prices or invalid tickets.
What Expats and Visitors Should Know
For English-speaking newcomers to Mexico City, Torroja’s catalog is sung entirely in Spanish, but Mecano’s melodies are widely known across Latin America and Spain, making the show approachable even for listeners still learning the language.
The venue is reachable by metro via the San Cosme or Revolucion stations, a practical option given downtown parking is limited on concert nights.
A One-Night Stop on a Longer Tour
Mexico City is one date on a wider Latin American run for Torroja this year, so fans in neighboring countries who miss this show may find another date closer to home later in the tour.
No opening act has been advertised for the Mexico City date, so the full evening is expected to center on Torroja’s own set.
