Abstract: Theatro São Pedro celebrates 100 years with one of the richest and most amazing national music stories. Inaugurated in a time of cultural flowering, the theater is inserted both in the tradition of opera houses created in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries and in the proliferation of concert halls in the neighborhoods of São Paulo. It is the only remnant of the time when culture spread through the streets of the city, promoting concerts, galas, vespers, operas and operettas. In these 100 years, Theatro São Pedro has gone through several phases and reinventions. It was once cinema, theater and, without stable bodies, it received itinerant companies that established operas and operettas. Between comings and goings, the theater was the scene of political and cultural resistance, and received great names in our music, such as Eleazar de Carvalho, Isaac Karabtchevsky, Caio Pagano and Gilberto Tinetti, in addition to organizing Osesp concerts. After undergoing a restoration, it was reopened in 1998 with the installation of La Cenerentola by Gioachino Rossini. Little by little, the opera came to occupy a prominent place in the programming of São Pedro, and in 2010, with the creation of the São Pedro Theater Orchestra, this vocation was reaffirmed. Over the years, his lyrical seasons opted for diversity, with well-known titles from the traditional repertoire, poorly represented works, as well as operas by Brazilian composers, making Theatro São Pedro a reference in the lyric scene of the country. Now, the São Pedro Theater begins a new phase, respecting its own history and attentive to the new challenges of art, culture and society.
