The Pedreira Paulo Leminski is a 25,000-capacity outdoor concert venue located in Curitiba, Brazil.
It was partly named after Paulo Leminski, a twentieth century Brazilian writer, and because it served as the Municipal Pedreira, or rock quarry. Located in the neighborhood of Abranches, the site is about 103,500 metres (339,600 ft) long, its stage is around 480 square metres (5,200 sq ft), and it is surrounded by a rock wall 30-metre-high (98 ft). It was first opened in 1990.[citation needed]

The Wire Opera House was opened in 1992 for the first Curitiba Theater Festival. Together, the two sites make up the Parque das Pedreiras.[citation needed]
In July 2008, the holding of large events was prohibited in the place by an injunction in a Public Civil Action filed by the Public Ministry of Paraná, based on a request from the residents of the region, who alleged disrespect for the schedule of shows and riots caused by visitors. After a legal dispute between the space's neighbors and the municipal government, which had taken place since 2008, an agreement was reached, which included a renovation with new adaptations and some restrictions for shows and, thus, the quarry was released in September 2013. With the improvements made, at a cost of R$ 17 million, the space was reopened in March 2014.
During the city's three hundredth anniversary celebrations, the Pedreira hosted the tenor José Carreras, who was accompanied by the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra.
