♫ When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with soul ♫

In this photo we can see below, Costão of Itacoatiara and the Itacoatira Beach.

Places of my last published photos, we see that this place is much higher than the place of the previous photo.

In the last two photos of the sequence we can see the angle seen it from the beach, showing the two places.

Foto tirada do topo da Pedra do Elefante, tambem conhecida como Alto Mourão, se repararem nas fotos anteriores e nas duas ultimas fotos da sequencia, verão onde foi tirada esta foto.

Essa e uma das trilhas com mais dificuldade aqui do Rio, para subir ha necessidade muito mais que uma boa dose de boa vontade, precisa não ter medo de altura, e muita disposição, pois ha no trecho final uma semi escalada, maior e ate um pouco mais dificil para subir que a famosa Carrasqueira da Pedra da Gavea, se bem que achei a descida desta mais facil que a Carrasqueira.

♫ It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away. ♫

Mais uma foto tirada do Alto do Costao de Itacoatiara, para chegar la é necessario um pouco de disposição e preparo, mas conforme é possivel ver numa das fotos da sequencia, ate crianças conseguem subir tranquilamente, mas eu aconselho a evitar dias os dias de sol quente.

o Theatro Municipal é a principal casa de espetáculos do Brasil e uma das mais importantes da América do Sul. Desde a sua inauguração, em 14 de julho de 1909, o Theatro tem recebido os maiores artistas internacionais, assim como os principais nomes brasileiros, da dança, música e da ópera.

Inicialmente, o Theatro foi apenas uma casa de espetáculos, que recebia principalmente companhias estrangeiras, na maioria trazidas da Itália e da França. A partir da década de 30, o Municipal passou a ter seus próprios corpos artísticos: orquestra, coro e ballet. Os três continuam em plena atividade e realizam várias produções próprias a cada ano. Hoje, o Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro é a única instituição cultural brasileira a manter simultaneamente um coro, uma orquestra sinfônica e uma companhia de ballet.

Prefeito do Distrito Federal, entre os anos de 1902 e 1906, o engenheiro Pereira Passos o planejou como o toque final da reforma que realizou na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, sendo o Theatro construído com base na fusão do projeto arquitetônico de Francisco de Oliveira Passos (filho do Prefeito), com o de Albert Guilbert, que haviam empatado no concurso organizado para o projeto do novo teatro. O desenho do prédio foi inspirado no da Ópera de Paris, construída por Charles Garnier. (Wiki)

The Theatro Municipal (Municipal Theatre) of Rio de Janeiro is located in Cinelândia (Praça Marechal Floriano) in the city center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Built in the beginning of the twentieth century, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful and important theatres in in Latin America and the World

The building is designed in an eclectic style, inspired by the Paris Opéra of Charles Garnier. The outside walls are inscribed with the names of classic Eurocentric & Brazilian artists. It is located near the National Library and the National Fine Arts Museum, overlooking the spacious Cinelândia Square.
History

In the second half of nineteenth century, theatrical activity was very intense in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of the country. Still, its two theaters, the Lyric and St. Peter, were criticized for their facilities, either by the public or by the companies that worked in them.

After the Proclamation of the Republic (1889), in 1894 playwright Arthur Azevedo launched a campaign for the building of a new theater to host a local company, to be created along the lines of the Comédie Française. However, in those hectic days, the campaign resulted in only one Municipal Law, which ordered the construction of the Municipal Theater. This law was not enforced, despite the existence of a levy to finance the work. Thus, that the new tax revenue was never used for the construction of the theater.

It was not built until the beginning of the 20th century and it came to represent the new republican regime and a new era to the elegant capital of Brazil. At the time, then-Mayor Pereira Passos launched a major upgrade of the city center by opening in 1903 the Central Avenue (Now Avenida Rio Branco), shaped after the boulevards of Paris and flanked by magnificent examples of eclectic architecture. Hence arose the opera venue, brainchild of Francisco de Oliveira Passos (Son of then mayor Francisco Pereira Passos) with the cooperation of Albert Guilbert and design inspired by the Paris Opera. Building began in 1905 on a foundation of 1,180 wood poles rooted in groundwater. To decorate the building, the most important Brazilian painters and sculptors of the time were summoned, such as Eliseu Visconti, Rodolfo Amoedo and the Bernardelli brothers. European artisans were also recruited to work on stained glasses and mosaic tiles.

Finally, four and a half years later — a record time for the work that took the relay from 280 workers in two shifts — on July 14, 1909, President Nilo Peçanha inaugurated the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, which had the capacity for 1,739 viewers. Serzedelo Correa was then the mayor of the city. In 1934, upon the observation that the theater was small for the new size of the population of the city, auditory capacity was increased to 2,205 seats. The work, despite its complexity, was held in three months, record time for the season. Later, with some modifications, it acquired the current number of 2,361 places.

The theater was closed on October 19, 1975, for restoration works and modernization of its facilities and reopened on March 15, 1978. That same year the Central Technical Production, responsible for all of the shows running in the house, was created. In 1996, the construction of an annex building began to relieve the building due to the intense practicing and other activities throughout the year. With the inauguration of the annex, choir, orchestra and ballet crews gained new rehearsal rooms and greater space for artistic practices and rehearsal.

Today, the Theatro Municipal mostly shows productions of ballet and classical music. In its early heyday, it featured only foreign opera and symphonic orchestra shows, especially from Italian and French companies. In 1931, the Municipal Symphonic Orchestra of Rio de Janeiro was created and celebrities such as Arturo Toscanini, Sarah Bernhardt, Bidu Sayao, Cheryl Studer, Eliane Coelho, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith and Alexander Brailowsky highlighted the programs of the Theatro. Today, it houses the Petrobras and the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestras.

The Museum of Tomorrow (Portuguese: Museu do Amanhã) is a science museum in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was designed by Spanish neofuturistic architect Santiago Calatrava, and built next to the waterfront at Pier Maua. Its construction was supported by the Roberto Marinho Foundation
The building attempts to set new standards of sustainability in the municipality. Compared with conventional buildings, designers say it uses 40% less energy (including the 9% of its power it derives from the sun), and the cooling system taps deep water from nearby Guanabara Bay. The structure looks set to be one of Rio’s most famous tourist sights. Its solar spines and fan-like skylight have been designed so that the building can adapt to changing environmental conditions.

The museum has partnerships with Brazil’s leading universities, global science institutions and collects real-time data on climate and population from space agencies and the United Nations. It has also hired consultants from a range of related fields, including astronauts, social scientists and climate experts. It sits waterside in a port area that was left abandoned for decades, and is now being renovated with new office blocks, apartments and restaurants. The museum is part of the city's port area renewal for the 2016 Summer Olympics. (wikipedia)
