Teatro São Pedro (São Paulo)
[4][3] In 1967, threatened with demolition, the São Pedro Theater was acquired by Fernando Torres, Fernanda Montenegro, Beatriz and Maurício Segall.In the following years, the productions focused on creating new theatrical expressions to confront Institutional Act Number Five, a law imposed by the Costa e Silva government that increased censorship in Brazil.An Enemy of the People, by Henrik Ibsen, was the first production presented by São Pedro Produções Artísticas, a company led by Maurício and Beatriz Segall in partnership with Fernando Torres.In 2015, the theater established a partnership with the São Paulo Metro to present flash mobs and exhibitions of the costumes used in Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi.[7][4][9] The theater's eclectic style, predominantly neoclassical with art nouveau details, was designed by the Italian architect Augusto Bernadelli Marquesini and built by Antônio Alves Villares da Silva.
