About the Amazon Theatre
The Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas) is an opera house in Manaus, Brazil. The annual Festival Amazonas de Ópera takes place there, and the Amazonas Philharmonic Orchestra, which is based in the building, rehearses and performs in it. The opera house dates from the Belle Époque, a time of rubber-boom fortunes, and stands for the city's heyday. Vogue picked it as one of the world's most beautiful opera houses.
In 1881, Antonio Jose Fernandes Júnior, then in the local House of Representatives, first proposed building it, imagining a jewel at the heart of the Amazon rainforest. After a competition for plans, a project from the Lisbon office Gabinete Português de Engenharia e Arquitectura was chosen. Construction was ready to start by 1884 under the Italian architect Celestial Sacardim, and it moved slowly, with stops and restarts. The opera house was inaugurated on December 31, 1896, and Ponchielli's La Gioconda was staged on January 7, 1897, as the first performance.
The style is usually described as Renaissance Revival. The building drew on distant sources: roofing tiles from Alsace, steel walls from Glasgow, and Carrara marble from Italy for the stairs, statues and columns. The dome carries 36,000 decorated ceramic tiles in the colors of Brazil's flag. Inside, the auditorium seats 701 people, and 198 chandeliers hang in the building, 32 of them Murano glass.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

- Ribbed dome and finial
- The dome has fine ribs, a ring of small openings at its base and a thin finial on top. Print friendly adapts these to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print.
- Rows of arched windows
- Small arched windows and columns run along the facades. At this small scale a layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps them crisp, and a larger print keeps more of them.
- One piece with the ground
- The Amazon Theatre is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Amazon Theatre takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
