Circo Voador (Portuguese for Flying Circus) is a concert venue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] Located adjacent to the Carioca Aqueduct in the Lapa neighborhood, it is a large tent-like structure covering the stage and spectator areas, but with open sides. It has weekly concerts by Brazilian bands and artists, with occasional appearances by foreign artists or theme parties.[1] Circo Voador began in Arpoador, the peninsula between Ipanema and Copacabana, when local artists erected a circus tent to display their work. The city eventually granted the land where the venue currently sits as a permanent home.[2]
