Overview

The Municipal Symphony Orchestra's 2026 season kicks off with a concert celebrating Brazilian nature, featuring works by Cibelle Donza, Hekel Tavares, Gilberto Mendes, and Heitor Villa-Lobos. A unique and moving musical experience!

The exuberance of Brazilian nature guides the opening program of the 2026 Season of the Municipal Symphony Orchestra (OSM), which features the Lírico and Paulistano choirs. Conductor Priscila Bomfim conducts works from the 20th and 21st centuries, beginning with "Da Terra" by Cibelle Donza, from Pará. Principal conductor and artistic director of the Amazon Philharmonic Orchestra (FILMA), Donza is also an award-winning composer. " Da Terra" is part of a series of compositions that reflect on eternity and the ephemeral and transitory nature of humankind on Earth. The work also seeks to emulate the sounds of the Amazon Rainforest.
Hekel Tavares, from Alagoas, served as composer, conductor, and arranger. A passionate lover of musical traditions, he created a style of music that straddles the line between classical and popular. In addition to his hit songs, he wrote one of the most beautiful piano concertos in the Brazilian repertoire, the Piano Concerto No. 2 in Brazilian Forms , with soloist Hércules Gomes. It was also in nature, this time in the Atlantic Forest, that Gilberto Mendes, a Santos native and one of the most important Brazilian composers of the second half of the 20th century, found inspiration for " Alegres Tropicos: Um Baile na Mata Atlântica" (Amazing Tropics: A Dance in the Atlantic Forest). The performance concludes with one of Heitor Villa-Lobos's most powerful works, in which the forest, indigenous music, and Brazilian popular music powerfully converge: Choros No. 10.

Venue Info

Theatro Municipal (São Paulo) - Sao Paulo
Location   Praça Ramos de Azevedo, s/n

Welcome to one of Brazil's greatest opera houses. Theatro Municipal de São Paulo doors open to the city and the world, a stage prepared to create and deliver memorable and accessible experiences, welcoming classical and contemporary artistic expressions.

The luxurious building, visibly influenced by European opera houses, was built as an aspirational symbol of São Paulo's high society, which, with the abundance of the coffee cycle, desired a performance venue worthy of its European wealth and ambitions to host the great artists of lyrical music and theater.

The project, designed by the Ramos de Azevedo firm—in collaboration with Italians Cláudio Rossi and Domiziano Rossi—began in 1903 and was handed over to the city eight years later. In September 1911, the Municipal Theater opened to distinguished guests before a crowd of 20,000 people, dazzled by the pomp and spectacular lighting for the time—the building was the first to be fully powered by electricity.

The Municipal's stage featured the most important companies of the first half of the 20th century, featuring names such as Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Bidu Sayão, Arturo Toscanini, Camargo Guarnieri, Villa-Lobos, Francisco Mignone, Ana Pawlova, Arthur Rubinstein, Claudio Arrau, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Isadora Duncan, Nijinsky, and Baryshnikov, among many others. Always extending beyond the classical scene, it crowned its cosmopolitan vocation by hosting one of the most important events in the history of the arts in Brazil, the SEMANA DE 22 (WEEK OF '22), featuring Mário and Oswald de Andrade, Anita Malfatti, and many other celebrated young artists who launched the Brazilian modernist movement.

In its over 100-year history, three major renovations have preserved, renovated, and expanded the Theater, which now boasts a restored building. In 2012, the Praça das Artes facility was created to house artistic groups, the municipal music and dance schools, and the multiple activities of the Municipal Theater Complex.
