The opera "THE MAN OF DREAMS"

Opens on RTP2, 29th June, 22h00!

The opera you won't want to miss!

Filmed version of opera "The Man of Dreams" by Portuguese composer António Chagas Rosa, premiered in 2022, commissioned and produced by Ópera do Castelo, based on the homonymous tale by modernist poet Mário de Sá-Carneiro, incarnated and directed by soprano Catarina Molder. In a timeless café a man is waiting impatiently for something. A disarming chameleonic person appears affirming of having crossed life’s monotony by being capable of living dreams, taking him on a journey into these news realities. Is this man a projection, delusion, dream or nightmare?
