On the occasion of the Saison Brésil-France 2025, the Théâtre du Châtelet becomes a resonant stage for an unexpected Brazil, far from the clichés of samba and bossa nova. On July 5 and 6, two original concerts invite Parisian audiences to plunge into the plural soul of a country in constant reinvention, between classical heritage, exile, contemporary creation and commitment to memory. Organized by Janus Arts et Culture, with the support of theBrazilian Embassy, this event offers a sensitive, documented look at the richness of Brazilian music through artists at the peak of their powers.
On Saturday, July 5, the great pianist Cristina Ortiz takes you on a musical journey where Mozart dialogues with the works of composer Camargo Guarnieri and other Brazilian creators from the 20th century to the present day. Alongside the Americantiga ensemble, she explores the fertile tensions between European tradition and the sonic métissages born of Brazilian history. A concert that explores Brazilian musical heritage in all its diversity, and which will appeal to both classical music fans and those curious to discover new musical territories.
On Sunday, July 6, it's time for the emotion of Marias do Brasil, a creation that blends opera, stage storytelling and sound archives to bring back to life two great forgotten voices: Lapinha, the 18th-century opera singer, and Maria D'Apparecida, the Afro-Brazilian pioneer of the European opera scene: Lapinha, an 18th-century opera singer, and Maria D'Apparecida, an Afro-Brazilian pioneer of the European opera scene. Performed by sopranist Bruno de Sá and soprano Luanda Siqueira, this committed show, directed by Ligiana Costa, pays tribute to those who have been invisible, offering them a space for expression worthy of their heritage.
If you're passionate about musical history, drawn to tales of exile or curious to discover Brazil in a different way, this weekend is for you. Whether you come as a couple, with friends or on your own, prepare yourself for a sensitive experience, between moments of introspection and bursts of beauty. In the elegant setting of the Théâtre du Châtelet, every note will sound like a bridge between cultures and eras.
The Un Brésil inattendu weekend, for the Saison Brésil-France 2025, is part of a dynamic of cultural sharing, at the heart of Franco-Brazilian exchanges in the year 2025.
