Teatro Arthur Azevedo, Theatre in São Luís, Brazil.
Teatro Arthur Azevedo spans across multiple floors and features neoclassical architecture with carefully designed facades and ornate interior decorations throughout the building.
Built in 1816 and opened in 1817 as Teatro União, the theater changed names several times before receiving its current name in honor of Brazilian playwright Arthur Azevedo.
The theater maintains a program of theatrical productions, music concerts, and dance performances, supporting both regional artists and national touring companies throughout the year.
The venue accommodates 750 general audience seats plus 6 special tribune seats, with facilities including entrance hall, stage area, noble halls, and costume rooms.
