Longing, melancholy and nostalgia are the hallmarks of fado, an artform from Portugal expressing the outlook of its people in entrancingly emotional melodies. The reigning queen of this musical style is Mariza from Lisbon, who has brought the »Portuguese blues« to the world for more than twenty years, to unprecedented success. Like few other artists, she is able to deliver fado’s world-weariness with a grand voice and gripping expressivity. In keeping with the Festival’s motto, the program is dedicated to »Amor«, love, and invites the audience to close its eyes, strolling through the streets of the Portuguese capital in their minds and listening to the stories written by life itself.
