The Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro was built in the early 1900's, as part of the Mayor's project to modernize Rio de Janeiro's downtown area, following French design principles. The theatre was designed by Brazilian Francisco de Oliveira Passos and French Albert Guilbert and it was inspired by the building "Palais Garnier" in Paris.
