Contemporary opera Pigmalião premieres at Teatro Variedades in September

The Portuguese contemporary opera Pigmalião will premiere at Teatro Variedades, in Lisbon, from September 17 to 20. The play presents a transposition of the classical myth of Pygmalion to a post-apocalyptic future setting. The show is a production that combines contemporary music with a reinterpretation of a well-known story from Greek mythology. The event marks the presentation of an original Portuguese work that brings a modern approach to an ancient theme, transporting the audience to a fictional universe different from the traditional context of the legend.
