Curved neoclassical theater with 800 seats, featuring Italian opera house architecture
Inaugurated in July 1817, during the golden age of cotton, by two merchants, this theater with its curved lines was directly inspired by the architecture of 18th-century Italian opera houses. Its neoclassical style and size (800 seats) caused a sensation. Called Teatro União at the time, it was renamed Teatro Artur Azevedo in the 1920s, in tribute to the Maranhão playwright Artur de Azevedo (1855-1908). Artist and director Fernando Bicudo reopened the building in 1993. This theater is definitely one of the places to see in São Luís.
