About Dom Pedro V Theatre
Built in 1860 as the first Western-style theatre in China, this neoclassical building has sage-green walls with white mouldings, dark green doors and shutters, and a terracotta roof. It once also housed a ballroom, a reading room and a billiard parlour, and its vestibule has an old crystal chandelier. The 276-seat hall remains a performing venue, and the theatre is part of the Historic Centre of Macau.
How to get to Dom Pedro V Theatre
On St Augustine's Square, a short walk from Senado Square. The Cultural Affairs Bureau closed it in August 2026 for internal renovation and expected the works to finish by early October 2026; check that it has reopened before going.
