Teatro Municipal, Opera house in São João del Rei, Brazil
The Teatro Municipal spans three floors with a Greek-Roman facade, featuring sculpted faces representing drama, comedy, and tragedy on its exterior walls.
The theater, constructed in 1893 to replace the collapsed Teatro São Joanense, underwent substantial modifications in 1913 under engineer Gabriel Galante's direction.
The building displays Apollo statues and art muses on its roof, while the facade includes inscriptions of notable theater artists throughout history.
Located at Avenida Hermilio Alves 170 in downtown São João del Rei, the theater contains 480 upholstered seats, 190 wooden chairs, and ten private boxes.
The theater served as the city's first permanent cinema venue from 1907, when it presented its inaugural film screening on September 12.
