These are the DDD first programming days that are set to propel you to fascinating performances and animated shows. The first to be scheduled is the premiere BATE FADO, by Jonas&Lander, at Rivoli. What do tapping and singing the Fado have in common? That is precisely what you will discover on 20th April, at 7 pm.

Check out the first days of the DDD Festival in Porto, available on stage and at home: a hybrid programming that is meant to suit all audiences.
