A great evening filled with music and culture! Two singers, one male and one female team with classical guitarist and Portuguese guitarist entertain in an on-stage performance with a club-like setting for about an hour. There is a visual experience with video of Lisbon as well. The performances are passionate, and the singers invite the audience to sing along at times. You will enjoy this!

Fado is a big part of Portuguese culture so it is important to experience it. While it was not my type of music I understand the reason to participate. I wouldn’t do it again but am not sorry I did it.

Maria_V, Jul 2025
The performance was incredible! You will be able to experience the fado music and feel the emotional power of its lyrics. I would recommend that the group introduce each song and let the audience know the main topic of their lyrics. This will help the audience connect even more and learn about the meaning of fado.

Kyle_S, Jun 2025
Great show and interactive, it’s held in a theatre that feels more like a conference center so was looking for something a little more authentic. Singers were very talented and it was a perfect amount of time for the performances.

Good comfortable experience

Declan_N, Jun 2025
Great fado experience! I thought it sounded like a mix of opera music and jazz together, which was strange but enchanting. Fado is very popular in Portugal, and so it can be experienced often on the street, however to listen to it in an actual venue was in my opinion the superior way to experience it; the sound was clear, and no sweating from the heat haha.

Good time
