Enigma

The 7th edition of Operafest revolves around the theme of the enigma, celebrating the centenary of Puccini's unfinished opera Turandot and Portuguese contemporary opera creation!

From birth to death and from the beginnings of life, our existence is marked by the attempt to decipher enigmas. Find keys to open closed doors, open new paths, news understanding in yourselves and in the world, in search of answers.

This “enigmatic” edition Kicks off in Oeiras, in the unique setting of the Cloisters of the Cartuxa Convent - Caxias, in the outskirts of Lisbon, transformed into an open-air opera hall…
