Introduction
The Amazon Theatre is Manaus's pride—a pink Renaissance-style opera house in the Amazon rainforest, completed in 1896, a testament to the extreme luxury of Manaus's late-19th-century "rubber boom." Rubber barons shipped Italian marble, French glass, British steel and Venetian murals across oceans to build this gilded opera palace in the equatorial rainforest. The striking tiled dome, gorgeous interior halls, ceiling paintings and curtains amaze. Still in use with year-round performances, a tour reveals its glory—a gorgeous cultural pearl in the rainforest.
