Beautiful back stage memories captured / by Danny Kaan and Anniek of my last day at Phantom of the Opera after 6 beautiful years of service !
O encenador e intérprete Jorge Balça convida a soprano Lara Martins, intérprete da ópera e do West End, para uma exploração jazzística, acústica e intimista a duas vozes da obra inconfundível de Variações, acompanhados ao piano por Bernardo Pinhal. Uma parceria de vontades, desejos e excessos expressa através da lente do realizador Ricado Leite num filme assumidamente queer. Lara e Jorge são o António. Ou melhor, um António... aspectos distintos e frequentemente dissonantes de uma só pessoa... duas vozes que de dentro do António o guiam pelas dicotomias da música de Variações: cidade/campo, eu/outros, tradição/inovação, conformação/queerness... vozes que vêm da cabeça, do corpo, do coração ou de qualquer outra parte da sua anatomia. A concepção plástica do projecto, que explora o potencial da cortiça (um material tão Português quanto António Variações), está a cargo do multi-galardoado artista plástico Português Nuno Esteves aka Blue.
Happy 100th birthday Maestro Piazzolla ! Thank you for you powerful and beautiful music ! This is Maria de Buenos Aires “born one night when the Gods were drunk!” A sex worker, condemned to hell which is the city itself! To hear the full song head to my album “Canção "where I pay homage to the incredible music of Astor Piazzolla. https://www.artway.pt/loja/Canção-p290854368?lang=en Piano: Olga Amaro, Cello : Filipe Quaresma, Bandoneon: Joao Gentil.

A soprano portuguesa Lara Martins é uma das mais versáteis sopranos portuguesas, com um repertório vastíssimo que vai desde a ópera ao musical. Durante 6 anos consecutivos no mítico musical londrino "Fantasma da Ópera", interpretou uma das personagens principais, Carlotta, com grande aplauso do público e crítica especializada. Em Portugal, tem-se apresentado nas mais variadas vertentes e nos mais importantes palcos nacionais: a solo com orquestra, em ópera, em recital com piano, a solo com banda sinfónica, etc. Apresenta aqui o seu mais recente trabalho com a pianista Olga Amaro onde visita alguns dos temas mais icónicos de musicais que se tornaram em alguns dos mais famosos filmes de sempre.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist. The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October...
It's going to be a night to remember! Laura Martins and Paul Tabone head to Live at Zedel for one night this month in a diva-off fit for the Kings and Queens of stage! The PHANTOM OF THE OPERA stars will be facing off this Sunday 15 October, showing off their vocal chops in the process...
Don't be too sad to wave goodbye to Ben Forster - THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has a new Ben on the way, and he's not exactly new to the role of the masked man. Ben Lewis was acclaimed in the Australian premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber sequel Love Never Dies. Which other #StageFaves join him in the West End from 4 September?
Good news for phans! Ben Forster, the masked man who led THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA's 30th birthday gala celebrations this past October, has extended his run. He'll remain in the show, along with Celinde Schoenmaker and Nadim Naaman as Christine and Raoul, until 2 September. Do you know who else calls the Paris Opera House home these days?...
