Rivoli Theatre, Art Deco theatre in Santo Ildefonso, Portugal
Rivoli Theatre is a cinema and performance venue with distinctive Art Deco architecture located at Praca Dom Joao I in central Porto. The building features a large, ornate facade and contains interior spaces designed for both film screenings and stage performances.
The building was originally founded in 1913 as Teatro Nacional and served as a stage for theatrical performances. In 1923, architect Julio Brito oversaw renovations that adapted it to accommodate cinema screenings alongside live entertainment.
The theatre serves as a venue for performing arts where dancers, musicians, and actors take the stage regularly. The building's prominent position reflects its role as a cultural gathering space where the public comes to experience live and filmed entertainment.
The theatre screens films regularly and hosts cultural performances throughout the year. It sits in the downtown area and is easily accessible, with the entrance clearly visible from the street.
The theatre is recognized as the primary venue for an international fantasy film festival held every February. During this month, the building transforms into a gathering place for cinema enthusiasts from around the world.
