about

Coliseu Porto Ageas is a major historic building located in the heart of Porto, Portugal. Inaugurated on December 19, 1941, Coliseu welcomes all artistic disciplines and a great diversity of audiences. An icon of Modernism, the building is listed by the Government as a Monument of Public Interest, and the classic-style decoration coexists with the most recent equipment and technologies, providing a unique environment for all artistic live events.
Coliseu Porto Ageas is made of different spaces. The main venue has a seating capacity of 3,000 and a standing capacity of 4,000. The building’s highlights are its unrivalled acoustic conditions, the circus ring with features that are unique in Portugal, and the generously sized orchestra pit for large opera productions and film concerts. The smaller rooms, with capacity for 300 people, are ideal for smaller events, such as concerts, exhibitions, performances, meetings and presentations.
