Teatro Baquet
The ''Teatro Baquet'' was a theatre located in what is today ''Rua 31 de Janeiro'' in the city of Porto, Portugal. It opened in 1859 and was destroyed by fire in 1888, with the loss of 120 lives. Origins The ''Teatro Baquet'' was built by António Pereira. Work began on 21 February 1858, and the theatre was first used for a masked Carnival ball on 13 February 1859. Born in Porto, António Pereira emigrated to Spain with his family in 1828, where he learned to be a tailor. In 1836 he married Ignácia Lopez de la Rica. The couple had no children. On his return to Porto, Pereira rapidly established himself as a sought-after tailor. He started using the name "Baquet", possibly because he thought a foreign name would assist him to market his business, and established ''Casa Baquet'', which sold the first ready-to-wear clothing in Porto. Historians are generally agreed that the origin of the "Baquet" name was a visit to Paris in which he was given it as a nickname. The word means “tu ...

19th-century Portuguese Actresses
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cesário Verde
Cesário Verde (25 February 1855 – 19 July 1886) was a 19th-century Portuguese poet. His work, while mostly ignored during his lifetime and not well known outside of the country's borders even today, is generally considered to be amongst the most important in Portuguese poetry and is widely taught in schools. This is partly due to his being championed by many other authors after his death, notably Fernando Pessoa. Biography José Joaquim Cesário Verde was born in Lisbon, Portugal. His father was a shopkeeper and exporter of fruit products. He also had a small farm on the outskirts, at which Verde's family resided during the summer. In 1857, an outbreak of the plague lead his father to permanently move the family to the country, where they lived until coming back to Lisbon in 1865. This early contact with the countryside instilled in Verde a deep love of nature, which would show up repeatedly in his poems about life in the country, almost always depicted in a bucolic, idyllic ...

Crystal Palace (Porto)
The Crystal Palace (''O Palácio de Cristal'') in Portugal's second largest city of Porto was inspired by The Crystal Palace in London. It was inaugurated in 1865 to host the 1865 International Exhibition. Eventually falling into disrepair, it was demolished in 1951 to make way for a Sports Pavilion, today known as the Rosa Mota Pavilion, named after the Portuguese marathon runner. Construction Porto's Crystal Palace was designed by English architect Thomas Dillen Jones and the Anglo-Irish engineer Francis Webb Sheilds. It was built at Torre da Marca on the edge of the city centre in granite, iron and glass, with the Crystal Palace in London serving as a model, as Jones and Sheilds had both worked on that building. Designed to host the 1865 International Exhibition in Porto, it was funded by Porto's Industrial Association, which formed the ''Sociedade de Palácio de Cristal Portuense'' (Porto Crystal Palace Company) in 1854.

Teatro Apolo (Lisbon)
The ''Teatro Apolo'', initially called ''Teatro do PrÃncipe Real'', was a theatre in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, opened in 1866. It was named in honour of the future Carlos I of Portugal, King Dom Carlos when he was just three years old. In 1910, with the fall of the monarchy, its name was changed to ''Teatro Apolo''. In 1957 the theatre was demolished. History The theatre was built by Francisco Ruas on the corner of Rua Fernandes da Fonseca and Rua da Palma in the parish of Santa Justa, Lisbon, Santa Justa. He had originally built a hall, which he named as the Vauxhall Hall, and held masquerade balls there. This proved unprofitable and he changed its name to Meyerbeer Hall, where concerts were performed, with even worse results. His third effort, the ''Teatro do PrÃncipe Real'', was inaugurated in 1866 with two comedies, ''Dois Pobres e Uma Porta'' (Two poor people and a door) in three acts, and the one-act ''Muito Padece quem Ama'' (Whoever loves suffers much).
