I was at the Theater to see Verdi´s La Traviatta, I was thrilled of emotion. Perfect acoustics, lot of artwork, clean and friendly.

After the last reform, the municipal theater become spectacular. Excellent pieces are interpreted by a very affordable price. Just beware of the region at night, which is not the safest in town.

Sao Paulo has recovered this gem from the from the sad state it was in only a few years' ago. It's been restored to the glory it's cafe baron sponsors dreamed up. The theatre represents the new-found self-confidence of Brasil and Sao Paulo in particular, and is contributing to the recovery of the Centro area of the city. I got... More

For 40R, I went to the symphony and the seats and sound of the theater were excellent! This is the 100 year anniversary of the Teatro Municipal and it is very special inside, with beautiful glass, balconies, majestic stairs. Highly recommend.

Sao Paulo is the best place to live in Brazil. The first time I've been here I remember a 'gigantism' sensation.

On the heart of downtown Sao Paulo, Brazil, a fine jewel is erected- Theatro Municipal de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo City Theatre). Built in 1911, it had been completely refurbished and carefully restored to its original glory, and it is really a wonderful piece of engineering and architecture, with lovely art nouveau décor, clearly based upon the original design of...
