July 14: Teatro Municipal

After the Museum of art we went to The Teatro Municipal. It was so amazing! It is considered one of the 7 wonders of Rio de Janeiro it is so amazing. The Theater is an opera house that is so big. It looks kind of like the DPAC except it is about 3 times as large. There is a basement, ground level, 1st balcony, 2nd balcony, and annex. The middle three levels are mainly for the stage and the basement is for art galleries and storage. The annex is for watching and for storage and galleries. The stage area is really cool. It is really big and has a lot of seats. 

The basement is full of really cool mosaics.
Mosaic of Babylonian king.
The whole place is really cool. Ryan says that he can't get over how big it was. If you want to know more about the Teatro Municipal or see it yourself you can check out the virtual tour here: http://www.theatromunicipal.rj.gov.br/tmrj_en/visita_virtual_en.html

After we finished the tour at the Teatro Municipal we headed back to the hotel to rest our legs and eat.
