Wooing them with precious gifts of song, a band
of the best pop musicians in Portugal has found its way into the hearts of a
Chinese orchestra. For Ala dos Namorados it may be the allure of a distant
shore, but for the Macao Chinese Orchestra it has been a twenty-year love
affair, a life dedicated to the union of Portuguese and Chinese traditions.
In a marriage of two cultures enamoured with one
another for centuries, the angelic voice of Nuno Guerreiro will join the
delicate passions of the pipa and the erhu, then the "Lisbon
Lunatics" will perform unaccompanied, promising to make songs like "Zé
Passarinho" as famous in Macao as they are in their native land.
Duration: approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes,
including one interval
