TEMPO – Teatro Municipal de Portimão is part of a strategy to revitalize the historic area of the city, in which culture participates as a complementary vector of social and economic development, contributing at the same time as a forum for presenting and promoting a living image of city.
Given its urban centrality, TEMPO serves as a meeting place in the heart of the city, promoting the crossing of public space and stimulating sociability between the different local communities and between them and visitors and artists.
It presents in its spaces (Large Auditorium, Small Auditorium, Black Box and Café-Concerto) a diverse program in artistic forms and expressions (theatre, dance, music…), aimed at different segments of audiences, crossing what comes from outside with the that is created in the city, in coherence with the mission of a local municipal theater.
A new edition of the Choque Frontal ao Vivo program returns to TEMPO – Teatro Municipal de Portimão on January 25, 2024, thus starting the new season of live recordings of the popular Alvor FM radio program, which will last until May 16. Considered one of the most original radio programs south of the Tagus, “Choque Frontal ao Vivo” invites 125 people every month to watch the recordings and spend time with the artists, directed, produced and presented by Júlio Ferreira and Ricardo Coelho. Program recordings take place from 9pm onwards, with subsequent broadcast on Alvor FM radio, and interested parties must collect their respective invitations from the TEMPO box office, which are free of charge.

Through its educational and training offer (Specialized Artistic Education in Music and Theater, and Professional Course in Performing Arts – Actor/Actress, Jazz and Strings and Keyboard), the Bemposta School Group presents a musical to mark the 50 years of April 25, 1974. The musical transports the audience until the early hours of April 25, 1974, covering important moments of the revolution, from the moment when João Paulo Diniz announces to the microphones of Emissores Associados de Lisboa “Five minutes left until twenty-three o’clock. With you , Paulo de Carvalho with Eurofestival 74 ‘And After Goodbye’”, the signal that began the MFA’s military operations, until the moment when General António de Spínola assumes the responsibility of power after the surrender of the President of the Council, Marcello Caetano.
