"A visit to the Theatre The theatre opened its doors in the year 1846, during the celebrations of the 27th anniversary of D. Maria II. The architect was the Italian Fortunato Lodi. A fire of big proportions in 1964 destroys the interior of the building, but the structure was rebuilt maintaining the original neoclassical style and opens 14 years later. It’s possible to visit the Theatre inside and learn about the historical and artistic heritage, touring the halls, dressing rooms, technical areas, studio props and costumes, among other things."
