António Carlos Gomes (1836-1896) was the most important opera composer of Brazilian romanticism, considered the greatest lyric composer of the Americas and the second most staged name at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, after Giuseppe Verdi, who even declared about Carlos Gomes: ‘Questo giovane comincia dove finisco io!’ (This young man starts where I finish!).

This spectacle aims to celebrate the operatic works of António Carlos Gomes, through the performance of excerpts from his works, by four singers accompanied by the piano, with a short historical context for each musical piece, visually ennobled by Luigi Manini's scenery, thus harmonising the Regaleira's scenic architecture with the works presented. Arias and ensembles will be performed from his main operas since his debut, The Night of the Castle, Lo Schiavo, with a special focus on his first great success in Italy, Il Guarany, not forgetting Fosca, Salvator Rosa, and Maria Tudor.
