Carminho live in Seville

Experience Carminho live on December 20th

Carminho, a prominent figure in contemporary Fado music, will perform at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, Spain on December 20, 2026. Her musical style is characterized by a modern approach to traditional Portuguese Fado, incorporating influences from jazz, Brazilian music and other world music elements while retaining the genre’s emotive intensity and poetic lyricism. She is known for her distinctive vocal delivery and innovative arrangements which have broadened Fado’s appeal internationally.

The Teatro de la Maestranza holds significant cultural importance in Seville. Originally constructed as a naval dockyard (“Maestranza” referring to the shipbuilding tradition), it was repurposed as a theatre in the 19th century. The current building, inaugurated in 1991, is primarily an opera house and concert hall, renowned for its acoustics and architectural design by architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. It’s considered one of Spain’s most important venues for lyrical and orchestral performances.

The theatre's location on the Guadalquivir River adds to its historical context, reflecting Seville's long maritime history and its role as a key port city.
