A consensual figure in the Portuguese musical universe, Celeste Rodrigues is a reference for different generations of artists. Majestic, her nonagenarian voice got used to living for fado and made fado her home. She sang forever and sang until the end. Fado was - is - her home. A house full of affection, life and art. With a professional career spanning seven decades, Celeste Rodrigues sang regularly in the best Fado houses in Lisbon, being one of the first fado singers to become internationally renowned, on stages such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall in New York or Cité de la Musique in Paris. On the stage of the Grand Auditorium of the Centro Cultural de Belém, friends of different generations gather in a tribute to the great matriarch of Fado. Interpreting Celeste Rodrigues' beautiful repertoire, everyone celebrates this rare and extraordinary joy of living a lifetime doing what they love.
