Multi-use venue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Apotheosis Square (Praça da Apoteose) is a venue in Rio de Janeiro close to the Morro da Mineira favela. It is part of Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí , which can hold a maximum 90,000 people. For concerts, it can hold from 10,000 to 40,000 people.[citation needed ]
It was designed by well-known architect Oscar Niemeyer in 1983.[ 1]
In 1989, the band A-ha played two concerts with an attendance of 80.000 people each. [ 2]
On July 7, 2007 (07/07/07) the band Diante do Trono recorded their 10th album, called Príncipe da Paz (Prince of Peace). In the event, more than 100,000 people were gathered, packing the venue.[ 3]
On March 14, 2010, a stage collapsed before a Guns N' Roses concert due to heavy rain and a small tornado. The concert was rescheduled to April 4.[citation needed ]
