Opera in the Amazon

By Linda Tancs

The Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas) is an opera house located in Manaus in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Built at the height of the rubber industry, this jewel in the rainforest features a tiled mosaic dome in the colors of the Brazilian flag. It has a capacity of 701 seats and houses the Amazonas Philharmonic Orchestra. Located in front of Plaza San Sebastián, it also hosts the annual Amazonas Opera Festival. Guided tours, in English, are offered throughout the day.
