]]> While it can boast a glorious past, Lisbon’s Teatro Nacional de São Carlos remains a low-key venue with a programme that European music lovers have been watching out for. The eighteenth-century theatre, located in the heart of the historic Chiado district, hosts only a handful of productions each season, as the institution has other, more modern venues at its disposal. With a concert version of Die Fledermaus and a semi-staged version of Trilogia das Barcas (a Portuguese opera by Joly Braga Santos), only three titles are staged: Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, which opened the season in October, Beethoven’s Fidelio, due to open in January 2024, and Verdi‘s truculent Falstaff, which will open in May 2024.
