Discovering One of Rio's Prestigious Landmark: The Municipal Theater
The Theatro Municipal (Municipal Theatre) of Rio de Janeiro is located in Cinelândia (Praça Marechal Floriano) in the city center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Built in the beginning of the twentieth century, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful and important theatres in the country. The building is designed in an eclectic style, inspired by the Paris Opéra of Charles Garnier. The outside walls are inscribed with the names of classic Eurocentric & Brazilian artists. It is located near the National Library and the National Fine Arts Museum, overlooking the spacious Cinelândia Square.
During the shooting of the film Rio, Eu Te Amo, we have discovered that institution that is part of the history of the city. João Wlamir who worked there for 31 years as a ballet dancer and a choreographer makes us discover that institution, which makes every Carioca very proud.
