Francisco Nunes Theater

The Francisco Nunes Theater is a modern performance space in Parque Municipal Américo Renné Giannetti that holds about 540 spectators. The hall includes accessible areas and was designed to accommodate different types of productions.

It opened in 1950 when the city needed a new cultural venue after the original municipal theater became a cinema. The building came about under a mayor who wanted to strengthen the city's artistic infrastructure.

The venue takes its name from a celebrated clarinetist who shaped the city's classical music scene. It serves as a meeting place for diverse artistic performances and reflects the city's varied cultural life.

The entrance is on Avenida Afonso Pena in downtown Belo Horizonte and is easy to locate. Before visiting, check the current schedule and plan to arrive early for any performance.

The namesake was a musician who founded the city's first symphony society and worked here long before the theater was built. This connection to the classical music world is marked on a plaque at the building.
