Frommer's Review

It's old and tattered but it's also got tradition. Everyone who's anyone in Brazilian music has played this aging 3,000-person auditorium, from Djavan to Milton Nascimento to Gal Costa. The best sections in the house are the tables in Section A and the balcão nobre. These give you great views of the stage and a chance to have a drink or a snack. Avoid the poltronas (numbered seats) as these have horrible side views of the stage. The box office and theater are just across the street from the Rio Sul shopping center.
