The Cidade das Artes complex ushered in a new era for Rio de Janeiro's culture scene. Since 2013, the spectacular building designed by French architect Christian Portzamparc has become a veritable cultural hub, welcoming music, visual arts and dance, among other artistic programs. In addition to its main theatre, library, dressing rooms and multipurpose space, all designed for acoustic and structural excellence, several covered ground-floor areas with water features and landscaped gardens adorn the Cidade das Artes - the perfect setting to enjoy quality entertainment in a national architectural gem. |
