Evita

Yellow Star Company brings the rock opera Evita to Faro for three performances at Teatro das Figuras. Directed by Paulo Sousa Costa, the production follows Eva Duarte's rise from a poor, ambitious young woman to Argentina's First Lady, narrated throughout by the cynical observer Che, set to Andrew Lloyd Webber's score and Tim Rice's lyrics. The show runs around 120 minutes with an interval and is recommended for audiences aged 12 and over, though paid tickets are available from age 3 (Portuguese law does not permit children under 3 in the auditorium). It plays for three consecutive nights, 20 to 22 August, at 21:30. Tickets run from 36.50 euros to 38.50 euros, sold through BOL or at the Teatro das Figuras box office. This is one of the bigger musical theatre bookings of the Algarve's autumn cultural calendar, so early booking is worth it.
