The Theatro Municipal is Rio's grand belle-epoque opera house on Praca Floriano in Cinelandia, modeled on the Paris Opera and lavished with marble, mosaics and frescoed ceilings. You can admire the ornate exterior for free or take a paid guided backstage tour, and catching an opera, ballet or concert is the best way to experience the gilded auditorium. Tours run on limited schedules and sell in advance, so check times, and the surrounding square is best visited by day.
