[1][2] The theater was inaugurated on February 20, 1908 with the support of Colonel França Pinto after the renovation of the old Brás Market building in Largo da Concórdia.

At the inauguration, the play Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, by Giacometti, was presented by the Italian Dramatic Company and directed by actor Antonio Bolognesi.

On August 3, 1911, composer Pietro Mascagni conducted his opera Amica at the venue, which led to the building receiving a commemorative plaque in its lobby.

[2][1] The Colombo hosted Brazilian artists such as Itália Fausta, Leopoldo Fróes, Procópio Ferreira and Nino Nello.

Today it is called Brás Station and belongs to the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM), which is integrated with the São Paulo Metro.
