On Praça Tiradentes, it hosts plays, dance, music, comedy and popular productions.

More than two centuries of theatre history on Praça Tiradentes.

The experience

It is an opportunity to attend performances in one of Brazilian theatre history’s fundamental venues.

History

Its history began in 1813 with Real Theatro de São João. The current building preserves the memory of more than two centuries of performing arts in the same area.

My tip

Learn about Praça Tiradentes’ history before entering. It is one of the most important places for understanding the birth of theatre in Rio.

Opening hours, tickets, programming and visiting conditions may change. Check with the institution before traveling.
