The Municipal Theatre is located in the city center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was constructed as an Opera house between 1905 and 1909 in the likes of the Paris Opera and was inaugurated in July 1909. It is one of the most beautiful and important theatres in the country and is located near the National Library and the National Fine Arts Museum, in the old historical part of the city of Rio de Janeiro, on the sidelines of the historical Cinelândia Square. It has a seating capacity of 2244. It is beautiful, to say the least. The architectural tour is very interesting. It starts in the beautiful basement restaurant, which is an eclectic series of rooms inspired by Babylonian architecture (see for example the antiquities at the Berlin Pergamon Museum). It hosts classical music performances and ballet shows.
It is 2.0 km from Rio city center
