Teatro Apolo (Apollo Theater), Recife

Apollo Theater is the oldest theatre in Recife. It was built in 1842, in a neoclassical style by the architect Rio de Barros Lopes Joaquim Cabral and Teive. After eighteen years of work the theatre was transformed into a sugar warehouse and only its marble facade was preserved. Later the theatre was restored back to being a theatre and since 1996 has housed a live theater with performances all year long.
