For Music Lovers
Language available: Portuguese and English
This private walking tour will cross the 18th and 19th centuries during which Culture and Arts from the Italian Peninsula invaded Lisbon. They defined the evolution of Music, of the spaces where it is enjoyed, of the manners and tastes, eventually creating an Italian Lisbon. This walking tour will take us from the Royal Opera House to the Rua dos Condes Theatre, touching Bairro Alto and São Carlos National Theatre. It will also take us from Scarlatti to Pacini, touching Todi and Lodi, with history, stories and Music in our ears.
The use of individual receivers with earphones will allow participants to listen to the guide and illustrative musical pieces.

Meet your guide, Luís Lopes
He was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, and very early decided to have a career in Tourism, after getting fascinated about learning and speaking foreign languages. Soon, he developed a passion for History, Geography, Art, Culture, Music… and, no less important, for people. All this contributed to focus his upper studies in Tourism & Tour Guiding, in a Lisbon institute/college. At the same time, he successfully finished a course for broadcasters in the main radio station of Portugal.
Luís started his career as an Official Tour Guide, in 1973 and, soon, also became a tour and cruise manager by invitation from foreign tour companies, mostly but not only, based in the USA. Later, and also by appointment, he became a lecturer, an activity that he further developed into creating his own documented narratives – through deeper personal research and countless theme courses and workshops – and supported by his own-built slide presentations. His latest research was focused on the evolution of Music in Portugal, in the 18C and 19C (which, among other things, gave birth to Italian Lisbon for Music Lovers – a theme walking tour with Music).
