Dreamlike - Since I was the only one who signed up, the artists gave me a private performance. I was able to talk to them, and learned something besides a unique emotinal experience.

Wonderful experience! - What a wonderful bit of Portuguese culture. I booked the Fado concert as part of a weekend birthday break with my wife. We had a choice of ports and wine to choose from on arrival included in our very reasonably priced ticket. We were shown to a relaxing waiting area for a few minutes before being shown downstairs to the cellar room for the concert. The surroundings were very intimate but classy, with space for a maximum ~40/50 people I would guess although there were only about 15 in our group. The concert was an hour with a very short 5 minute interval. It started with a short instrumental, followed by the guitarists being joined by a male singer, and then a female singer for the second half. All of the musicians were incredibly talented, the male vocalist in particular had a spectacularly powerful and rich voice that instantly filled the room. In-between songs one of the guitarists explained the origins and meaning of the songs - impressively in 4 languages (Portuguese, Spanish, English and French) to cater for the audience. The host introduced the musicians and unsurprisingly asked for silence throughout the performances. It was a shame that a small group of french women behind us decided this didn't apply to them (despite being told in 4 languages including their own) and we're whispering to each other in several of the pieces of music. Given the acoustic performance and especially the fact there were such a small number of us, this was unbelievably rude and disrespectful. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the performances which were soulful and moving. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable 1 hour fado concert - We saw the 6:00 pm Fado show two weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a male vocalist and and a female vocalist who rotated and sang along with music played by 3 amazing guitarists. The venue is a small and cozy with small tables/ chairs and a few couches resulting in a lounge like vibe. We received a glass of Port wine with our ticket, and it was decent quality. The concert is only an hour long, but it was an enjoyable hour representing the soul of Fado music. I was not driven to tears as Fado can sometimes do, but I felt that the performance was very good. The 6:00 pm show is also a nice way to start the night prior to going out to dinner and it is also a great way to experience Fado music if you do not want to have a pre-set menu in a more traditional Fado resturant. There is no audience engagement, explanation of the songs ( which were sung in Portuguese), or discussion about what Fado music is. If you are seeking that type of first time Fado experience, the I would suggest choosing another Fado venue. For me, it was an enjoyable performance for both tourists and Portuguese alike.

Brilliant and Cultural - An intimate setting with brilliant acoustics. Staff were lovely and accommodating. The singers and musicians were expecting and it was a very interested hour and a half to learn about Fado and listen to the history and beautiful sounds. A must do in Porto to really embrace and immerse yourself in the Portuguese cultural.
