Rio's Theatro Municipal



This magnificent building has recently been given a complete make over. The restoration is a beautiful success. You can take a guided tour of the restored facility Tuesday through Saturday at several times during the day.  More info here.

Romeo and Juliet, the ballet, is coming to the theater in October.  Good seats are too expensive for our blood, but I understand there is one day a week? month? when tickets are just R$1. Can anybody tell me when that is?  I have been mining their website, but I cant find it...

Jim, the R$1 seatings were on Sunday mornings. Depending on the event, you might have to go really, really early. I had a friend who showed up for Swan Lake a few years back and only was allowed in because she was pregnant (and they gave preferência even in the super long line!)
They've changed their site and I can't find info either; I'd call the box office and find out if they're still doing the Sunday thing...

I believe the R$1 tickets are the first Sundays of each month.
