Amazon Theatre Live in Manaus

An Opera House in the Heart of the Rainforest

Built during the rubber boom of the late nineteenth century, the Teatro Amazonas is a flamboyant belle-époque opera house that brought European grandeur to the middle of the Amazon. Its rose-coloured façade, neoclassical columns and sculpted pediment make it one of South America's most recognisable cultural landmarks.

The Iconic Tiled Dome

Crowning the building is the celebrated dome, clad in tens of thousands of glazed ceramic tiles arranged in the colours of the Brazilian flag. Visible from across the city, the cupola is the theatre's signature feature and a beloved symbol of Manaus.

Largo de São Sebastião and the Wave Pavement

The camera looks out over the Largo de São Sebastião, the lively square that frames the theatre, with its famous undulating black-and-white Portuguese mosaic pavement. Cafés, the São Sebastião church and a constant flow of pedestrians and traffic animate the scene.

A Cultural Icon to Watch Live

A national historic landmark and home of the Amazonas Philharmonic Orchestra, the theatre is the centrepiece of Manaus tourism. This live tourism camera on Avenida 10 de Julho lets viewers admire its architecture and the rhythm of the surrounding streets.
