The Teatro Municipal Rivoli, owned by the Porto City Council, is one of the two centers of the so-called Teatro Municipal do Porto, the other being the Municipal Teatro do Campo Alegre. It is located in Praça D. João I and presents its own regular programming, directed by Tiago Guedes and under the authority of the municipality's Department of Culture.
History
In 1913, the so-called National Theater was inaugurated.
In the following years, changes in the urban center forced the property to be rethought and modernized, and so, in 1923, the Rivoli Theater appeared, remodeled, adapted to cinema and offering opera, dance, theater and concerts. The architectural project is the responsibility of Architect and Engineer Júlio José de Brito.
The 1940s and 1950s represent golden years in the history of that room, thanks to Maria Borges. Manuel Pires Fernandes' daughter takes on the theater as a personal project and makes many improvements. The most important is the bas-relief panel, designed by the sculptor Henrique Moreira, which can still be seen today at the top of the facade.
The fact that Maria Borges, who was married to one of the bankers at the Borges & Irmão bank, fell ill and went to live in Lisbon, was decisive for the decline of Rivoli. “At the beginning of the 60s, Borges & Irmão bank had not yet completely given up on an old project to demolish Rivoli and build a new headquarters. After the patron's death in 1976, Rivoli was sold by his heirs to William Graham. As Banco Português do Atlântico (BPA) was Graham's creditor, it ended up with the theater.
In the 1970s, the Theater's image suffered a setback, caused by a bad financial situation. Rivoli began to deteriorate, with obsolete equipment, without regular programming or its own audience. In 1989, Porto City Council decided to buy the structure, in order to return it to the city and its inhabitants.
In 1992, the theater closed for complete renovation, designed by architect Pedro Ramalho. The existing area of 6,000 m² was expanded to more than 11,000 m², creating a Secondary Auditorium, a Café-concert, a Rehearsal Room and an Artists Foyer, as well as spaces for Administrative Services and Technical Services.
On October 16, 1997, the Rivoli Teatro Municipal reopened its doors.
From 2007 to 2011 the theater was managed by Filipe La Féria.
In 2014, the Culture of the Porto City Council (President: Rui Moreira; Councilor for Culture: Paulo Cunha e Silva) definitively took over the fate of the Municipal Theater (Rivoli and Campo Alegre). From September to December, the program O Rivoli Já Dança! was presented at Rivoli, an example of the programming that the Municipal Theater now proposes.
In January 2015, the new artistic director, Tiago Guedes, presented the program until March and from the outset the desire, through the choices made, to put Rivoli back on the map of major cultural events, with national and international projection, became evident.
For the first time conceived in its entirety by the new artistic direction, Rivoli's proposal opens up to multiple arts, with a natural emphasis on dance, but with space for performance, theater, cinema, thought, music, literature , exhibitions, workshops, puppetry, artistic residencies or the new circus.
