The Fabulous Carnival Concert
This Carnival, bring your fantasy or just a mask, and let's get together for a magical masquerade concert with the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra.
Carnival is ritual, inversion, fun… It’s a party. And where there’s a party, there’s music!
That’s why the musicians of the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa always dress up on Fat Sunday to perform some of the most ear-catching pieces in the symphonic repertoire.
The tuxedos stay at home. Or maybe not – who knows? Colorful wigs, large glasses, feathers and streamers, horns and mother-in-law’s tongues may also appear on stage.
Bring masks, friends, the whole family and Protected content of laughter. Together, let’s wish maestro Cláudio Ferreira the best of luck in his noble mission to conduct the most surprising concert of the season.
