Concertos Promenade 2.0 | Così fan tutte
Event
80 years are history, mission, tradition and responsibility. 2021 marks the return of projects that are part of the Coliseu's genesis, and one of the highlights is the return of the iconic “Concertos Promenade”, in a 2.0 version designed for today's audiences.
Introduced in Portugal by the Coliseu in 2005, in its various seasons until 2014, the “Concertos Promenade” attracted 130 thousand spectators. They are now back to provide a recreational experience for families and children, who every month, on Sunday mornings, will be able to discover the secrets and trivia of an eclectic repertoire of commented dance performances and concerts, featuring various orchestras.
In an informal setting, we will explain aspects and details of national and international works such as “Peter and the Wolf” by Prokofiev, “Rhapsody in Blue” by Gershwin, the short story “A Arca do Tesouro” by Alice Vieira set to music by Eurico Carrapatoso, “Cinderella” by Lotte Reiniger, world songs that have become famous, and other melodies and stories.
With artistic direction by conductor Cesário Costa, live commentary by musicologist Jorge Castro Ribeiro and a multimedia component created by Sara Botelho, the “Concertos Promenade 2.0” cycle presents seven unmissable concerts, from May 30th to December 19th.
On the morning of September 5th, “Orquestra Clássica do Politécnico do Porto” will bring to life the third and final opera in the successful trilogy of Mozart's collaborations with the Venetian librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, after “The Marriage of Figaro”, from 1786, and “Don Giovanni”, from 1787. The plot revolves around two young couples, inexperienced in the limits between fantasy and reality: Guglielmo and Ferrando, who, manipulated by the cynical D. Alfonso, are led to bet on the fidelity of their respective girlfriends, Fiordiligi and Dorabella.
From the musical masterpiece that is “Così fan tutte” (1789), the audiences will be able to hear at Coliseu a selection of the main arias from this opera buffa (the name used to designate Italian comic operas), directed by Cesário Costa.
