Porto\u2019s City Hall eventually would purchase the building in 1989, turning it into a Municipal Theatre.<br>After 3 years of deep renovations that kept the structure, fa\u00e7ade and noble spaces of the building unscathed, the Theatre would go through a <i>renaissance<\/i>, presenting a prolific house-made programming.

This time, it didn\u2019t work.<br>The theatre was, ultimately, concessed to a musicals\u2019 producer from Lisbon, <i>Filipe La F\u00e9ria<\/i>. His musicals became, from then on, almost the entirety of the theatre\u2019s programme, until abandoning the theatre in 2011, alleging financial difficulties.<br>Today, the theatre is at the centre of the cultural scene and of music venues in Porto.
