Municipal Theatre of São Paulo

The Municipal Theatre of São Paulo is one of Brazil’s most important cultural landmarks and a centerpiece of the city’s historic center. Opened in 1911, its elegant design reflects European opera houses, with a richly decorated interior worth seeing even outside performance times. The theatre is closely tied to Brazil’s modernist movement, having hosted the influential Week of Modern Art in 1922.
