Teatro Maria Matos, Municipal theatre in Alvalade, Portugal.
Teatro Maria Matos is a theater in the Alvalade district of Lisbon housed within a building that combines multiple cultural spaces. The venue has seating for around 450 people and operates as a multipurpose cultural facility alongside other functions within the same structure.
The building was designed by architect Fernando Ramalho and opened in October 1969 with its first theatrical performance. From its beginning, the space was intended as a cultural venue for the community and has served in that role ever since.
This venue serves as a gathering place for theater and dance, hosting regular performances that bring the community together. The location has become an important cultural anchor in the district, where different artistic forms find a stage throughout the year.
The theater is located on Avenida Frei Miguel Contreiras and is easily accessible by public transportation being situated in an active neighborhood. The space offers good sightlines from most seating areas, making it comfortable to view performances regardless of arrival time.
The building underwent major renovations in 2004 that introduced modern technical systems and improved sound quality. These upgrades positioned it as one of the better-equipped cultural spaces in the district.
