The Teatro Nacional Claudio Santoro is the main theatre of Brazil's modernist capital, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and completed in the late 1970s in the form of a truncated pyramid clad in geometric concrete relief. Inside, it holds several auditoriums for opera, concerts, ballet and drama, the largest seating over a thousand. As part of Niemeyer's grand plan for Brasilia, it is an architectural landmark as much as a performance venue. Named after a leading Brazilian composer, it anchors the cultural life of the planned city.
