Teatro Riachuelo, Historical theatre in Cinelândia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Teatro Riachuelo is a theater building in central Rio de Janeiro that hosts a range of performances from dance to drama. The structure features classical architectural details combined with updated technical systems to support modern productions.
The building started as a cinema in 1928 and screened films for many decades. After closure, it was renovated and reopened in 2016 as a modern theater space.
The venue hosts music, dance, and theater performances where artists from Rio and beyond showcase their work to audiences. The space draws visitors seeking connection with contemporary art and local creative projects.
The entrance is located at Rua do Passeio, and parking is available nearby including at Rua Evaristo da Veiga. Plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday when the ticket office is open for purchases.
The building spent many years as a cinema before being converted into a theater space, giving it a second life as a performance venue. This transformation preserved the original character of the place while opening it to new artistic possibilities.
