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 atmosphere of what the teatro was like 150 years ago. The place had a real buzz to it and is beautifully renovated.
