TEATRO DE SANTA ISABEL
O Teatro de Santa Isabel, monumento tombado pelo Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional em 31 de outubro de 1949 representa o primeiro e mais expressivo exemplar de Arquitetura Neoclássica em Pernambuco e um dos mais notáveis do país.
A idéia de construir um Teatro público no Recife, capital da província, partiu de Francisco do Rego Barros, futuro Conde da Boa Vista, presidente da província de 1837 a 1844. Era uma época de mudanças que afetaram as estruturas materiais da cidade e suas feições portuguesas de cidade recém-saída da época colonial. A proposta modernizadora contemplava a construção de estradas, pontes e edifícios públicos e tinha como objetivo não só dotar a cidade da infraestrutura necessária à implementação da economia provincial, mas também aproximá-la dos padrões estéticos europeus, mostrando uma cidade próspera e civilizada, que valorizava a cultura como um todo (aquisição e pelo usufruto de valores culturais). Neste sentido, era indispensável a criação de um Teatro. Além disso, durante a primeira metade do século XIX, a sociedade vinha atravessando um lento, mas decisivo processo de transformações no que no que se diz respeito à mentalidade e aos hábitos sociais que justificavam um desejo, cada vez mais acentuado, de contato social e busca de divertimento. Um local específico, reservado, onde se educassem os costumes, refinassem os gostos e exercitassem comportamentos apropriados.
Seu realizador foi o engenheiro francês Louis Léger Vauthier e este teatro representou a obra de maior vulto dentro do projeto de modernização idealizado por Rego Barros para Pernambuco. O Santa Isabel é considerado por muitos como o mais belo edifício teatral do império. Um dos poucos exemplares do genuíno neoclassicismo erguidos no Brasil na primeira metade do século XIX. A iniciativa de Pernambuco, de construir um Teatro de porte e elegância, em 1840, serviu de exemplo para outras capitais que, estimuladas pelo prestígio da província pernambucana e pelo incremento das atividades artísticas e sociais constatadas, adotaram iniciativa semelhante.
Homenageando a Princesa Isabel, o teatro foi inaugurado em 18 de maio de 1850 com o drama O Pajem D'Aljubarrota, de Mendes Leal, escritor português dos mais encenados na primeira metade do século.
O Teatro de Santa Isabel recebeu Dom Pedro II, Castro Alves, Tobias Barreto, Carlos Gomes, a Bailarina russa Ana Pavllowa, Procópio Ferreira, dentre outros. Assistiu à Revolução Praieira, à campanha abolicionista e à campanha pelo advento da República, quando dois nomes ligaram-se definitivamente a sua história: Joaquim Nabuco e José Mariano. Nabuco proferiu a célebre frase que ficaria gravada numa placa do Teatro: Aqui nós ganhamos a causa da Abolição. Mas, antes do final da década, o Teatro foi ainda, mais uma vez, campo de batalhas políticas que agitavam o país. Agora, pela república, com os discursos de Martins Júnior e Silva Jardim. O político Rui Barbosa discursou durante a campanha para presidência da república.

SUMMARY
=======
Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen ), is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3.2 million square miles) and with over 209 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. The capital is Brasília, and the most populated city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states, the Federal District, and the 5,570 municipalities. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi). It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic. Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Brazil is considered an advanced emerging economy. It has the eighth largest GDP in the world by both nominal and PPP measures. It is one of the world's major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years.
