TEATRO AMAZONAS - OPERA

It is the mythical opera house of the city, inaugurated in 1896. It was built during the heyday of the rubber cycle at the end of the 19th century, which generated a real economic boom in the region. The opera house was designed according to the European standards of the time. Part of the decoration and the structure were built in Europe and brought by sea. A philharmonic orchestra, a choir and a dance company reside there. Shows at very affordable prices, even free. The Festival Amazonas de Ópera (FAO) is held there in April-May.
