About

Coliseu Porto Ageas will host a concert commemorating the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation voyage. A concert that brings together the Portuguese Os Músicos do Tejo and the Spaniards Música Antigua on stage in a musical adventure, with musical direction of Os Músicos do Tejo and Eduardo Paniagua, musician and an expert of early medieval music. This concert also includes the participation of the fado singer Marco Oliveira.

The concert's repertoire features pieces that Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan) and his sailors might have heard on their voyages across seas and ports, about stars, heroes, loves and nostalgia, from the “vilancicos” and romances of Hispanic songbooks of the late 15th century and early 16th century. Songs that emotionally recount the great maritime adventure that forever changed the perception of the world, the heroic acts of the sailors who carried it through the ports and seas they crossed.

A performance with commentary, and featuring the presentation and historical contextualization by Juan Marchena, which commemorates the voyage promoted by the Crown of Spain and commanded by the Portuguese navigator Fernão de Magalhães (1480-1521), appointed by Carlos I (Charles I), with the objective of finding a new route to the Spice Islands.

With a strong multimedia component by Miguel Osório/ La Valise d’Images, the performance that now arrives at Coliseu Porto Ageas is distinct and original.

A co-production with Transiberia Productions, in partnership with Estrutura de Missão do V Centenário da Primeira Viagem de Circum-Navegação, and with artistic direction by Carlos Gomes.
