Fado - The Saddest Music in the World

 


Escape to Portugal by heading down to the Firehall Arts Centre to catch the spellbinding tale of Fado - The Saddest Music in the World. 

We follow a young woman and her mother as they travel across the waters back to their homeland in Lisbon, Portugal, to learn about the wonders of Fado music, grieve the singer Amalia Rodrigues, and come face to face with ghosts of their pasts and present. 

I was lucky enough to attend the show on a night when the Consultate General of Portugal was in the audience, and he generously invited everyone upstairs for an after-party complete with port and Portuguese tarts for everyone! 

 Fado - The Saddest Music in the World is on for one more week until Feb 5 at the Firehall !
