TEMPO – Municipal Theater of 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 the presentation and promotion of a living image of City.
Given its urban centrality, TEMPO assumes itself as a meeting place in the heart of the city, promoting the crossing of public space and stimulating sociability between different local communities and between them and visitors and artists.
It presents in its spaces (Grand Auditorium, Small Auditorium, Black Box and Café-Concerto) a diversified program in artistic forms and expressions (theater, 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 municipal theater of proximity.

Easter, in its narrative and meaning, goes far beyond the message of faith. The last moments of Christ’s life and the miracle of his resurrection set the tone for a unique concert that includes some of the main Easter symbologies, which will be presented and correlated with the music by maestro Martim Sousa Tavares. This concert is also the occasion to listen to Sofia Silva Sousa, a young and award-winning Portuguese violist who is currently developing her career with the London Symphony Orchestra.
