Municipal Theatre of Iquique, Historical theatre in Iquique, Chile.
The Municipal Theatre of Iquique stands in front of Plaza Arturo Prat, constructed entirely of Oregon pine wood in neoclassical architectural style.
The theatre emerged in 1889 following French actress Sarah Bernhardt's dissatisfaction with performance conditions in the existing facilities of Iquique.
The interior foyer displays paintings of Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, and Shakespeare, while cherubs on the dome represent dance, painting, music, and theatre.
