Accessibility
Ensuring accessibility and participation rights is more than an intention; it is an obligation. Teatro Municipal do Porto is aware of this and has been working to overcome the existing discrepancies and limitations—from physical accessibility to communication and mediation with its several audiences—, creating the necessary arrangements for a greater number of people to equitably participate in and enjoy our venues and programme.
Access to the buildings
Given the patrimonial nature of our theatres and the specifications of their rehabilitation works, it may not be possible to access all areas. Teatro Municipal do Porto, however, has reserved seating in the audience for persons with reduced mobility needing to use wheelchairs, as well as accessible toilets.
The Teatro Rivoli and Teatro Campo Alegre are located in the vicinity of public transport (train, metro and bus) which, for the most part, have accessible visual and sound systems and lifting platforms.
Tickets policy
You can purchase discount tickets for persons with specific needs (30%) at both the on-line and physical ticket offices of Teatro Rivoli and Teatro Campo Alegre.
Free entrance is guaranteed for the companion of people with specific needs (limited to one companion per person).
Access to programme
Aside from physical accessibility, Teatro Municipal do Porto has been implementing accessibility and inclusion practices concerning communication, mediation and programme, namely the use of genderless terms in its own contents and the undertaking of sessions and activities translated into Portuguese Sign Language (PSL) and with audio description, aiming at gradually increasing the number of these services provided.
The Portuguese Sign Language and/or audio description sessions taking place between April and July 2022 are the following:

Teatro Municipal do Porto
Teatro Municipal do Porto, through its two hubs - Rivoli and Campo Alegre - presents a multidisciplinary programme open to a wide range of latitudes and different kinds of audiences, carrying out the strategy laid by the Culture Department since its reopening in September 2014. The balance between what is done in this city, what is presented around the country and the international programme that we present in Porto, makes this Theatre a venue for discovery and artistic confirmations. It’s a place where we programme different approaches and present them on different scales, from a small dressing room to the under stage, the lobby or different auditoriums.
Together with the DDD - Festival Dias da Dança and the artistic residency center and a workspace for the performing arts CAMPUS Paulo Cunha e Silva, the three projects make up the Department of Performing Arts of Ágora — Cultura e Desporto E.M. / Câmara Municipal do Porto.

Teatro Rivoli
It was inaugurated in 1913 as a National Theatre. In the following years, changes in the urban centre forced a reconsideration and update of the building and thus Teatro Rivoli came to be, in 1923 - refurbished, adapted as a movie theatre, with a programme of opera, dance, theatre and concerts. Architect and engineer Júlio Brito signed the project. In 1994 it was closed for a complete refurbishment, with a project by architect Pedro Ramalho. In October 1997, Rivoli reopened its doors.
Presently, Rivoli hosts the national and international programme of Teatro Municipal do Porto with a particular focus on dance, theatre, music, puppetry, contemporary circus and film, along with some of the city’s main events.

Teatro Campo Alegre
Architect Rogério Cavaca designed Teatro Campo Alegre. After it was built in 2000, it was managed by the now extinct Fundação Ciência e Desenvolvimento (FCD). The building has four venues (Auditorium, Café-Teatro, Cine-Studio and Rehearsal Room) and three apartments equipped for artistic residencies - two with 2 bedrooms and one with 3 bedrooms.
Currently, Campo Alegre is the experimental hub of Teatro Municipal do Porto, a creative lab within the programme "Campo Aberto", housing artists from different latitudes and nine local companies on short and long term residency, which will later on present the result of their work.
