Quite by chance we were in Faro on the night that there was a free performance, a sort of 'open mike' night with students of the local theatre school. It was a thoroughly charming experience, sitting in one of the tiered boxes, soaking up the...More

When visiting Faro check the events taking place in the theatre which is an old style musical design dating from 1860s which is virtually unchanged from that time, superb layout with 4 tiers of private boxs around the auditorium. The boxes are not charged extra...More

Faro Blues Fest --both nights

Little gem of a theatre but little used

If you enjoy the theatre or just want to see a bit more of old Faro don't miss a chance to see a production in this little gem. It's like a time capsule; faded but so interesting!! Period must be circa 1890s ?
