Colours of Christmas

Pictorial art will interact with music performed by the Teatro Nacional São Carlos Choir in a Christmas concert involving great choirs and works relating to the festive season, while masterpieces of Portuguese art are projected. The musical programme covers different periods in the history of music – Baroque, Classical, Romantic – and different geographies, under the unifying thread of Christian themes.
