About this experience
- The Monastery of São Bento da Vitória, classified as a national monument, combines with fado to create an atmosphere where the acoustics enhance the music and emotion in ways a conventional venue never could.
- The guided tour runs for approximately 30 minutes through the monastery's main spaces, including the church with its 18th-century organ and spectacular golden baroque altar, before ending in the sacristy where the concert takes place.
- A live fado singer performs for a full hour in the sacristy, accompanied by Portuguese guitar and Fado viola, the intimate atmosphere lets you closely feel the expressiveness and passion of the artists as the acoustics amplify the intensity of voices and instruments.
- During the interval, you'll taste Singeverga Liqueur, handcrafted by the Benedictine monks of Singeverga Monastery, the only liqueur produced by monks in Portugal, alongside a glass of Reserva Port wine.
- Performances take place every Friday and Saturday, with the guided tour starting at 6:40pm, advance booking is recommended due to high demand.
