Opera Concert at Aliados
Love, jealousy and courage are themes at the heart of every great opera. Tonight, they come to life on Avenida dos Aliados, as the Casa da Música Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Diogo Costa, brings together the wit of The Barber of Seville, the lyricism of Werther and the passion of Carmen, alongside highlights from Don Pasquale and The Pearl Fishers. Overtures, arias and duets, performed by three internationally acclaimed young singers, will resonate through the heart of Porto on a summer evening of free admission.
