Lonely Planet review

This handsomely restored 19th-century theater on Praça Tiradentes is a major contributor to the arts in downtown Rio. Its exposed brick walls and large wood-framed windows form the backdrop to superb musical groups (often samba) performing throughout the week, and also has dance recitals, book releases and ongoing exhibitions. A good option for those wanting to escape the Lapa crowds, the scene much more staid, which makes it a good choice for couples. They also teach dance classes here.
