136 BRAZIL Trancoso 2011 Música Em Trancoso The “Mozarteum Brasileiro Theatre” accommodates indoor and outdoor audiences, each with seating for 1,100 people. The theatre will host various cultural and socio-educational activities, thus becoming a permanent centre for cultural activity. There are eight rehearsal rooms, several meeting rooms, and a spacious bar area. The design contrasts curved and triangular openings, as the building integrates into Trancoso’s natural environment. Imposing panels, etched in bronze, created by the Brazilian artist Maria Bonomi define the character of this cultural meeting place. The engravings refer to the local natural environment with its impressive cliff faces, and the birth of the Brazilian nation.
