Curitiba has a bustling cultural scene, a reflection of the European background of many of its citizens. Complete listings of events are published in the Gazeta do Povo, the major daily newspaper.
Formerly the Teatro São Teodoro (circa 1884), the Teatro Guaíra was rebuilt in its present location and reopened in 1974. It has a modern, well-equipped 2,000-seat auditorium, as well as two smaller rooms. Shows include plays, popular music concerts, and the occasional full-fledged opera.
