In one of Lisbon's main squares, where the Captains' Movement experienced some of its key moments, the 50th anniversary of April 25, 1974, will begin to be celebrated at 10:00 pm, with the projection of a 'video mapping' on the facades of buildings with photographs by Alfredo Cunha, one of the photographers who immortalized the 'Carnation Revolution', and music by Rodrigo Leão. The 'video mapping' will also be presented today in central locations in other Portuguese cities, such as Porto and Matosinhos. In Lisbon, the 'video mapping' will be followed by "the songs of April", which will bring together 180 musicians on stage. According to the Equipment Management and Cultural Animation Company (EGEAC), "themes by José Afonso, José Mário Branco, Fausto, Adriano Correia de Oliveira, Fernando Lopes-Graça and Carlos Paredes will be performed by the Lisbon Sinfonietta Orchestra, the Santo Amaro de Oeiras Choir and the Choir of the Artistic School of the Gregorian Institute of Lisbon, joined by soloists Marina Pacheco (soprano) and Mário João Alves (tenor) and musicians Gaspar Varela (Portuguese guitar), Pedro Mourato (guitars), Francisco Santos (electric bass) and Sertório Calado (drums)". In addition, the unpublished theme "April is always Spring" will be presented, with lyrics by José Luís Peixoto and music by Luís Varatojo and Filipe Raposo, "which features the participation of several well-known voices of Fado and Portuguese music". The show, conceived and directed by musician Luís Varatojo, will also feature storytelling by six young actors, "about today's Portugal and the path taken, and by the projection of images that illustrate stories and songs". At the Terreiro do Paço party, promoted by the Lisbon City Council and produced by EGEAC, "carnations could not be missed and will be distributed in the form of pins". The carnations were made by inmates of the Tires Prison Establishment, "reusing materials from the banners of the 2023 Lisbon Festivities, now transformed into a symbolic object to mark the founding date of Democracy". According to EGEAC, there will be fireworks and a "final surprise" around midnight. The show "An Idea of the Future" has free admission.
