Lisbon: Fado Show at Lisboa em Fado + Port Wine

About this experience

The Lisbon Fado Show at Lisboa em Fado is a live music experience held at an intimate fado house on Rua do Crucifix 84, in the Baixa district of Lisbon. Fado is a Portuguese genre with roots in early nineteenth-century Lisbon, characterised by mournful melodies and lyrical themes of longing, known locally as saudade. UNESCO inscribed fado on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011, recognising its deep ties to Portuguese identity. The performance runs for 50 minutes and includes a glass of port wine, making it a compact and well-rounded introduction to one of the city's most enduring cultural traditions. For more things to do in Lisbon Sintra, the surrounding area offers a wide range of cultural and historical attractions. During the show, guests listen to live fado performed in an intimate setting, with the close quarters allowing the emotional weight of the vocals and Portuguese guitar to carry fully across the room. Between songs, short video clips profile major figures in the genre, providing context on the performers and composers who shaped fado over the decades. The included glass of port wine is served alongside the performance. Additional food and drinks are available at extra cost. The venue has wheelchair access. Tickets cover the full 50-minute live show and one glass of port wine, with no cancellation permitted after booking.
