And what if music were, after all, a Carnival mask? Wouldn\u2019t it bring the truth with it? The Lisbon Metropolitana Orchestra bring us a playful Carnival Concert, showing that one idea does not invalidate the other. Music constructs identities, but it can also pervert them, whenever it so wishes. It enables us to be heroes, wrongdoers, mythological creatures, film stars\u2026 It brings us games of mirrors that enable us to see facets that are hidden from our day-to-day life. Now, because it\u2019s a complex subject, the musicians of the Lisbon Metropolitana Orchestra invite us not to overthink things before accepting the challenge that they issue to us here. The aim is to fill the stage and the theatre with the most incredible beings that inhabit Planet Music. Come from home dressed as some \u201cthing\u201d that is inspired by your favourite piece of music. Bring hats, brightly-coloured scarves, magic wands, face paintings and large false noses. We\u2019ll provide the music and the streamers. And the party atmosphere we\u2019ll create together.<\/p>\n
