Teatro Castro Alves

The Teatro Castro Alves is a major cultural venue in Salvador, featuring a main auditorium with capacity for over 1,500 (one thousand five hundred) spectators and multiple performance spaces designed for theater, music, and dance events.

The theatre was officially inaugurated in March 1967 (nineteen sixty-seven) after a fire destroyed its interior five days before the originally scheduled opening in 1958 (nineteen fifty-eight), requiring nine years of reconstruction work.

The theatre has hosted performances by artists such as Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Maria Bethânia, establishing itself as a central stage for musical and theatrical movements that shaped Bahia's cultural identity.

The theatre is located in the Praça Dois de Julho area and provides wheelchair accessibility throughout its facilities, with schedule information available on the official website of the institution.

The venue houses the Bahia Symphony Orchestra and the Castro Alves Theatre Ballet, the first public dance company in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, with a repertoire exceeding 70 (seventy) dance productions.
