In Lapa, the heart of Rio’s bohemian life, the Cabaré Tá na Rua troupe brings to the stage ‘Ópera das Malandras: In concert’. A musical performance in two acts inspired by Chico Buarque, Bertolt Brecht, and the cabarets of all times. A dive into the bowels of the cabaret, rescuing its libertarian, degrading, and subversive essence.
The dramaturgy takes place in an old tenement in Lapa and reveals the exploitation of humans by humans. The audience is transported on a musical journey that spans Brazilian popular music pearls to major classics of musicals, while the troupe transforms each song into a spectacular and irreverent number.
Ópera das Malandras is an invitation to celebrate transgression and experience the magic of the cabaret, where you become part of the scenic revolution unfolding before your eyes. A constantly evolving experience, where humor, music, and spontaneity merge, bringing a biting reflection on the human condition.
