Comment: Interior of the opera house. The style is that of the Belle Époque. The idea was to use the world-wide rubber boom to turn Manaus into one of the greatest centers of (European) civilization. In the 21st century this theater houses operas, dance, and an international film festival. For additional views of the interior and exterior of this building, see: => Manaus #13a, #13b, #13c, #13d, and #13e.
