Visita Encenada ao Palácio Marquês de Pombal

There is a lot of excitement in the Casa das Carvalho. You are coming and your friends and servants are busy preparing for the function, which is very pleasing to Don Leonor and her daughters. Jocelina, the chatty servant, runs all of them, from the kitchen to the Lagar, from the Chapel to the Noble Room … and, because she is very pleased with the conversation, she reveals the secrets of the house to the unexpected guests, who have just appeared, powder grains …

“Are you the musicians?” The Count asked, perplexed when he encountered the strange visitors.

The shrines, the parties and the assemblies were the main manifestations of worldliness and culture in the Portuguese noble houses of the second half of the eighteenth century. It was about gathering a more or less broad group of people, who talked, played, said poetry, played and listened to music.

It was during this period that the Brazilian modinhas began to circulate in Lisbon with great success in interaction with Portuguese pieces, the Opera and the chamber music of Europe. We invite you to participate in the sarau, where you can experience one of these intimate moments of musical and poetic practice, in a domestic context, so in vogue in the century of Enlightenment.

Do not miss this historic scenario in a fantastic environment like the Marquês de Pombal Palace in Oeiras!
