HFF. Teatro Amazonas. Manaus, Brazil
The Opera House in the Jungle, in Manaus, in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon jungle, was featured in the Herzog film Fitzcarraldo. Built in the developing rubber boom town of Manaus in the 1880’s, every component of it was created in Europe and shipped to Brazil, then a further1500 kilometres inland up the Amazon where it was built. It has been in constant use ever since, with Vogue magazine declaring it one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world.
Nureyev and Fonteyn, Sarah Bernhardt, and nearly all the opera greats of the last 130 years have performed here. It is an amazing sight, the more so considering its location and history. I spent a couple of days, and nights in and about it....astonishing.

What an amazing structure.............I had a quick look at Google for more details. Building something like this nowadays would be an amazing project, but building it in the 1880s, in the conditions that prevailed then is nothing short of miraculous!

I really like this shot Diana.........your exposure is spot on and I love the warms colours and fantastic detail you've captured. Beautiful work!

HFF to you..........I hope you have an enjoyable weekend :-)

A wonderful building, but like the huge country houses in the UK their existence was only possible with thousands who lived in poverty. I hope you have had a HFF and that your weekend is a nice one Diana

I loved the movie Fitzcarraldo, but didn't realise the opera house in it actually existed in the Amazon jungle. This really is remarkable and wouldn't it be great to see an opera there! Slightly belated HFF, best wishes for Midwinter (I've been celebrating) and also for your imminent move. Love and big Huggss. XX

Remarkable building, and your photo of the interior is excellent. We visited in 2008 and got some pictures, but our digital cameras at that time could not handle the low light.

During our visit a symphony orchestra was rehearsing there. The sound quality was wonderful.

You did a wonderful job my friend. I wonder if this house was standing in Texas it would be known for as long as 100 years ago as the nec plus ultra of the chic culture of our vast world. But the leopard can not change its spots, claro...
One big kiss for this one.
