Ibirapuera Auditorium is among São Paulo’s most distinctive buildings and one of the city’s premier venues for music performances, including the Latin Grammy Awards. Visit Ibirapuera Auditorium to see a magnificent example of contemporary architecture in the heart of Ibirapuera Park. Enjoy the auditorium’s program of local and international acts and experience its state-of-the-art sound system.
Ibirapuera Auditorium is a key feature of Ibirapuera Park, a large public green space in the city. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, one of Brazil’s most renowned architects, the impressive white trapezoid structure contrasts with its leafy surroundings. Wander through the scenic park and notice the bright red roof over the auditorium’s entrance that juts out from the structure like a tongue. Get your photo taken in front of the auditorium’s entrance to appreciate the scale of its architecture.
Book tickets to one of the auditorium’s events to explore the structure’s interior. Catch a relaxed event on Sunday evenings or check the program to find out what performance most interests you. Arrive early to enjoy some time in the park before sunset. Inside, order a drink from the bar and wander around the 2,140-square-metre (23,000-square-foot) interior of the structure. Check out artwork by renowned artists Tomie Ohtake and Luis Antonio Vallandro Keating on the walls. Look through the windows of the music school located downstairs to spot music classes in session.
In the warmer months, the auditorium’s rear wall is opened to create open-air events. Sit on the grassy area outside and enjoy a concert of traditional Brazilian music with the locals.
Ibirapuera Auditorium is located in Ibirapuera Park, on the city centre’s outer edge. The park is easily accessible by metro or bus and metered parking is available outside of the park. The auditorium is open from Thursday to Sunday. Ticket prices vary for different events. Check the auditorium’s website for details.
