Amélia Bentes dives into the universe of the great opera singer Maria Callas, to work on her latest creation in collaboration with soprano Lara Martins and pianist Joana David.

"I would like to be Maria, but there is La Callas who demands that I carry myself with her dignity."

Art and culture unfold through traditions and pasts that become present. This way, one stone at a time, we build the home we come to. Celebrations awaken our existence, giving real meaning to the ground we stand on. In this musical and performative show, Amélia Bentes and her team intend to recreate, through a careful choice of opera arias, a biographical narrative of the great soprano Maria Callas. To do this, they invited the internationally renowned Portuguese classical singer Lara Martins to join the project, and she accepted the challenge.

This is a collective work in which soprano Lara Martins, pianist Joana David and choreographer Amélia Bentes, together with Cecilia Kalogeropoulos' biographical narrative, will create a unique show.
