HISTORY
The Municipal Theater emerged for the city of São Paulo as a great symbol of the cosmopolitan aspirations of the early 20th century. More and more refined and with more resources coming from the coffee cycle, the high society of São Paulo mirrored European values and wanted a show house equal to its possessions to receive great artists of lyrical music and theater.
With tax incentives and investments from the coffee barons themselves, the architect Ramos de Azevedo and the Italians Cláudio Rossi and Domiziano Rossi started the construction in 1903 and, on September 12, 1911, the Municipal Theatre was opened before a crowd of 20 thousand people who accompanied the arrival of the illustrious guests.
The luxurious building, strongly influenced by the Paris Opera, was considered daring for the time, with Renaissance and Baroque features on the façade and, inside, many ornaments and works of art: busts, bronzes, medallions, frescoes, crystals, neoclassical columns, stained glass windows, mosaics and marbles. São Paulo was finally integrated into the international script of the great shows.
The Municipal Theater stage was visited by the most important artistic companies of the first half of the 20th century, which brought to São Paulo names such as Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Mario Del Monaco, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Bidu Sayão, Arturo Toscanini, Camargo Guarnieri, Villa-Lobos, Francisco Mignoni, Magdalena Tagliaferro, Guiomar Novaes, Pietro Mascagni, Ana Pawlova, Arthur Rubinstein, Claudio Arau, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Isadora Duncan, Margot Fonteyn, Nijinsky, Nureyev, Baryshnikov among many others.
The Municipal Theater of São Paulo was transformed on May 27, 2011 from a department of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture to a Public Law Foundation, with an artistic body formed by the Municipal Symphony Orchestra of São Paulo, Municipal Lyric Choir of São Paulo, Ballet of the City of São Paulo, String Quartet of the City of São Paulo, Paulistano Choir, Experimental Orchestra of Repertory, Municipal School of Music of São Paulo and the School of Dance of São Paulo, and having as spaces the Municipal Theater, the Technical Center of the Municipal Theater and the Square of the Arts.
