Sala São Paulo

São Paulo, Brazil

Sala São Paulo

The Júlio Prestes Cultural Center, which is located in the Júlio Prestes Train Station in the old north central section of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, was inaugurated on July 9, 1999. The building has been restored and renovated by the São Paulo State Government, as part of the downtown revitaliz

ation in that city. It houses the Sala São Paulo, which has a capacity of 1498 seats and is the home of the São Paulo State Symphonic Orchestra (OSESP). It is a venue for symphonic and chamber presentations. Renovation began in November 1997, but the first steps were taken in 1995. Governor Mário Covas visualized the Julio Prestes Space as ideal for symphonic presentations and because OSESP did not have a permanent home at that time.
