TEATRO CASTRO ALVES

This theater built in 1958 was reopened in 1993 after a restoration. It symbolizes the modernization of Salvador de Bahia in the 1950s and is perhaps one of its most emblematic elements and is worth a visit. Here, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia and Gilberto Gil began their careers in the 1960s. It is home to the Bahia Symphony Orchestra and the Castro Alves Ballet, both of which are renowned for their quality performances. The complex itself is a success. The aesthetics intended by the architect merge with its functionality.
