Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas) will host the XV Encontro de Tenores do Brasil in Manaus, Brazil, on 12 and 14 November 2026. The programme brings Spanish tenor David Barrera and Italian tenor Dario di Vietri to the venue for their first performances in Brazil, alongside Miguel Geraldi.
The two evening performances connect a current classical music event with one of Manaus's defining cultural buildings.
Encontro de Tenores brings international singers to Manaus
The XV Encontro de Tenores do Brasil is scheduled for 12 and 14 November 2026 at the Amazon Theatre. Both performances are listed for 8pm, and the event is produced by Amazonian tenor Miquéias William, who will also perform. The programme dates and venue were published on 15 October 2026.
Barrera comes from Spain, while di Vietri is from Rome and makes his first appearance in Brazil. Geraldi, a tenor from Sao Paulo, is also due to appear for the first time on this stage. The singers will perform with the Amazonas Philharmonic under conductor Luiz Fernando Malheiro.
The reported repertoire includes Nessun Dorma, Granada, Vesti la giubba and Funiculì, Funiculà. The programme combines lyrical and popular traditions associated with Italian and Spanish music. A second event report also names the two dates, the venue and the participating artists.
Amazon Theatre links the concert to Manaus history
The theatre stands on Largo de São Sebastião in the centre of Manaus. It was inaugurated on 31 December 1896, during the period when the rubber trade was transforming the city. The building is recognised for Renaissance architecture with eclectic details.
Its construction incorporates materials brought from Europe. The official cultural authority records 36,000 ceramic pieces on the dome, steel walls from Glasgow, 198 chandeliers and Carrara marble in the stairs, statues and columns. The auditorium has 684 seats across the stalls and three tiers of boxes.
The building became a National Historic Heritage site in 1966 and preserves parts of its original architecture and decoration. Its stage has hosted opera, orchestral music, theatre, dance and popular performances. The tenor programme therefore arrives at a venue whose history is directly tied to the musical form it presents. The state culture authority describes the theatre and its historic setting.
