Situated in the middle of an urban green park, Parque das Pedreiras, the Wire Opera House theatre is built out of steel tubes. It is built on the site of a former rock quarry close to "Pedreira de Paulo Leminski." The structure is found in the middle of an artificial lake and accessed by a walkway. Designed by Domingos Bongestabs, the metallic structure weighs a total of 360T of steel. The structure was built in 75 days and opened on March 18, 1992. It underwent many changes until 2006. The idea was to present outdoor shows with a new and innovative perspective.
