Chiado Fado Concert Tickets

Get your ticket for a live fado performance and enjoy the best-known international expression of Portuguese music. Through the sounds of a Portuguese guitar and a classical guitar, as dictated by fado tradition, you’ll have the chance to experience this music, a symbol of Portuguese culture and identity. You’ll also hear the male and female voices of an experienced duet whose talent shines in its own right.

Some of the main themes of fado are melancholy, frustration and everyday life in working-class neighbourhoods. It is believed to have originated from the songs of seafarers, inspired by loneliness, nostalgia and the rocking of the boat on the water. It is a genre deeply rooted in the Portuguese mindset and customs, to the extent that it is considered an icon of the country’s art.

The show will take place in a restored theatre where Lisbon now preserves a space for culture, tradition and music. Here, for around an hour, you can enjoy the exceptional voices and performances of some of the city’s finest performers. It is a recommended visit both for lovers of Portuguese music and for those who wish to delve deeper into the culture and traditions of one of Europe’s oldest countries.
