(Translated by Google) In 1969, the Arena Theater, designed and built by Jaime Zeiger, was inaugurated. Built on a hillside, in an area of approximately 6,000 square meters, Jaime Zeiger conducted research in countries in Europe and the Middle East to choose the location, which needed to have a topography that would favor acoustic quality. This was the first arena theater built in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The play Antigone (by Sophocles) was the first theatrical performance presented. It may be a false impression, but I think that the Jaime Zeiger Arena Theater is the public facility in the city that has undergone the most renovations (I have seen several). The new paint job on the facade has given the place a "lively/revitalized" look; it remains to be seen how long the graffiti vandals will keep it that way. The part that I thought was lacking was the identification plate, placed on the post in front of the theater. They spent a fortune on the renovation and forgot to make a decent sign: they gave it a "cat", painted a wooden sign yellow, and wrote in black with an industrial marker. It looks ridiculous, I hope they reconsider this issue.
(Original)
Em 1969, foi inaugurado o Teatro de Arena, idealizado e construído por Jaime Zeiger.
Construído numa meia-encosta, em área de aproximadamente 6 mil metros quadrados, Jaime Zeiger realizou pesquisas em países da Europa e Oriente Médio para a escolha do local, que precisava ter topografia que favorecesse a qualidade acústica.
Este foi o primeiro teatro de arena construído no interior do estado de São Paulo.
A peça Antígona (de Sófocles) foi o primeiro espetáculo teatral apresentado.
Talvez seja uma falsa impressão, mas acho que o Teatro de Arena Jaime Zeiger é a instalação pública da cidade que mais sofre reformas (já acompanhei várias).
A nova pintura que fizeram na fachada deu uma "animada/revitalizada" no local, resta saber quanto tempo os vândalos pichadores vão deixá-la assim.
A parte que achei que ficou devendo foi a placa de identificação, colocada no poste em frente ao teatro.
Gastaram uma nota na reforma e esqueceram de fazer uma placa decente: deram um "gato", pintaram uma placa de madeira de amarelo, e escreveram em preto com um marcador industrial. Ficou ridículo, espero que revejam essa questão.
(Translated by Google) There is still something missing for our Arena to be as we deserve, but it is worth noting that the latest renovations have left the place charming and much better than it was a few years ago.
(Original)
Ainda falta alguma coisa para que o nosso Arena fique como nós merecemos, mas é preciso pontuar que as últimas reformas deixaram o lugar charmoso e bem melhor do que estava há alguns anos.

(Translated by Google) Great venue with good acoustics. However, access to the lower level is limited (if you need to place heavy equipment on stage or are in a wheelchair).
(Original)
Lugar ótimo, com uma acústica boa. Mas com pouco acesso a parte de baixo (caso precise colocar equipamento pesado no palco ou seja cadeirante)
(Translated by Google) Wonderful place, made even more special by the painting of the entrance by artist Bianca Habib! I recommend going for the shows and the mural!
