Music in 18th-century Portugal (1/2)
An exploration of the music that was at the heart of the church and the royal court in 18th-century Portugal. Presented by Hannah French, with contributions from Marcos Magalh茫es.
The first of two programmes exploring the music of 18th-century Portugal. This programme delves into the music heard in the royal court and opera houses of 18th-century Lisbon.
Marcos Magalh茫es, director of the ensemble Os M煤sicos do Tejo takes us on a tour of the city, from the theatre of S茫o Carlos, to the district of Bairro Alto, where soprano super-star Lu铆sa Todi lived and sang; to the modern-day Pra莽a do Com茅rcio, near which the old royal palace was located, before its destruction in the earthquake of 1755.
The 18th century saw the Portuguese court consciously try to rediscover the grandness of their 15th- and 16th-century predecessors during the so-called 鈥楢ge of Discoveries鈥�, when the Portuguese first established their overseas empire. With it came a musical heritage that was both inspired by those of Italy and France, but also sought to bring Portuguese talent to the fore.
Presented by Hannah French.
