Fado Vitória is an experience offered by Casa da Guitarra, which presents the essence of Fado in the historic and magical setting of a national monument – the Monastery of São Bento da Vitória in Porto. This religious building, one of the most emblematic in the city, combines with Fado to create an immersive atmosphere. Here, the acoustics enhance the music and emotion.
This experience is marked by the Fado concert, presented in the sacristy of the Monastery. Before the concert begins, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a guided tour of one of the most beautiful monasteries in Portugal. After the tour, for one hour, it is possible to enjoy the authenticity of Fado. The Fado will be performed by our Fado singer, accompanied by the Portuguese guitar and the Fado viola.
But that’s not all! Fado Vitória is an experience in contact with different elements of Portuguese culture and heritage. Thus, upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a Singeverga liqueur. This liqueur is artisanally prepared by Benedictine monks. Moreover, this delicate-flavoured liqueur is distilled directly from aromatic plants and spices. Later, during the concert interval, a glass of reserve Port Wine will be offered.
After an hour full of Fado and much emotion, you will also have the opportunity to visit a shop with products made by monks from Portugal. The entire experience thus lasts a total of 80 minutes.
The Monastery of São Bento da Vitória is the new location where Casa Da Guitarra will promote its Fado concerts. Fado Vitória By Casa da Guitarra takes place in the centre of Porto, in the parish of Vitória, in the monastery that was classified as a National Monument in 1977.
