The traditional Livestock and Agriculture Exhibition ("La Rural"), held every year in Buenos Aires for over a century, is one of the most important of its kind worldwide, bringing together more than a million visitors among producers, tourists and general public. 

The 2025 edition will take place from July 17th through July 27th. More than 4500 animal exhibitors and 400 commercial brands will be showing their products: laboratories, leather goods, banks, automotive industries, farm machinery, and providers of services and goods for the agricultural industry.

Il Trittico (Il Tabarro / Suor Angelica / Gianni Schicchi) by Puccini, in a production by the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, will go up in May with stage direction by Pier Francesco and Musical direction by Beatrice Venezi.
