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:
