The Dom Pedro V Theatre in Macau holds the distinction for being the first Western-style theatre to be built in China. Built in 1860, it still stands today as a cultural landmark of the Macau community, and is used for important public events and celebrations.
The Dom Pedro V Theatre is built in the neo-classical style. It incorporates a portico front on a rectilinear plan. There is a triangular pediment supported on four sets of Ionic columns. The façade is green stucco, and the ornamentation includes festoons on the arches and floral patterns around the frames in white plaster. The cornice and architrave mouldings are also in white.
