theatro municipal do rio de janeiro

We saw a dance show here, and enjoyed wandering around the building, which seems to try to replicate aspects of the Paris Opera.... there isn't anything particularly unique about this venue, other than perhaps the amazing Assyrian restaurant in the basement, which is perhaps even more a work of art in its decor and reliefs in tribute to many an archaeological palace of the ancient mideast.

you need to visit this ! is an old theather, this waas restaured recently , you can use the metro , and near there are others old places to visit too ! nesar yu can find good restaurants too !

The building is a fare inpiration of Opera Paris and is the most beautiful building and glitzy architecture in Rio, to me. I watched a concert there, it was quite good, also because it was a place to everyone, where no social level was decisive, anyone could listen to classical music and watch the OTM performance. I had a great time there.

You need to negotiate a rather complicated system to get onto one of the guided tours so allow at least fifteen minutes to get a security pass and then a ticket. It is worth the effort though. The building is remarkable and the English-speaking guide we had was excellent.

We saw it from the out side and it was a lovely one to see but it was closed for visits.you can have a walk in the area safely during day time.

Glitzy but still nice. Interesting gilded frontage. It was a bit over the top but had several good architectural features.Good for a once -over look.

If you have the time make sure you get the opportunity to go on one of the excellent tours given through the theatre. It is a stunning building and the guides are informative. A lovely step into old school Rio.

Historic, majestic structure and ocassional has top talent presentations. Great place for a refined and sophisticated afternoon performance. Not as famous as the renowned facility located in Manus, Brasil but well thought of at least regionally. Good acoustics and comfortable seating.Note: My visits were in the late 90's when I was residing (Praia do Flamingo) and working full time (Centro) in Rio during a five year business assignment.

Some of the greatest classical music performers in the world perform here in a classic setting of multi colored marble panels and pillars, stairs and balusters, sensual figure sculptures and murals. For the architecture and decoration alone, the Teatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro is worth a visit. Below the Theatre a restaurant, also spectacularly decorated, serves delicious food.

One of the most beautiful theaters in the world! One experience not to be missed if you visit Rio de Janeiro!

Naturally, as in every other theatre, one's experience depends on the quality of the séance. But if we stick to architecture and acoustics, Theatro Municipal is a charming place to visit, where superb craftmanship has rendered beautiful adorns and details. It has been recently restored. I suggest going downstairs for a glass of champagne at Bar Assírio, another Municipal's great spot. On the dark side, one must be advised that bathrooms (especially for ladies) are not large enough, so if the theatre is full, one can expect long lines.

This Theater is one of the most famous in Brazil. Rio used to be the capital of Brazil when it was created and it was very important. Many famous performers presented here and the history of the place is very rich. The conditions of the theather are very good and it is used till today. If you like classical music, visit the site where you can check their schedule, maybe you find a good show to attend. http://www.theatromunicipal.rj.gov.br/

It is touch of french architeture in Rio downtown! A very sophisticated bulding! A place for good&classic music performence!

After renew, it i seven better. Go to the bar, buy a sparkling wine and go to the basement. Sometimes there is a class about the opera or ballet before the show.

One of the highlights of our trip to Rio. It is a bit confusing figuring out where you are supposed to enter if you get there before they open. We arrived a few minutes before and there was no signage or anything to let you know where to go and the people handling tickets or the gate area seem to only speak Portugese but once you finally make it inside the tours do offer other languages. The tour is about 45 minutes and takes you throughout the beautiful building. It is definitely worth seeing!
