Belo Horizonte's Sala Minas Gerais is hosting two different types of concerts this week. The free chamber recital takes place on Tuesday, August 18th, at 8:30 PM. This intimate performance features small ensembles playing Classical and Romantic music, including Dvorak, Haydn, and Dvorak.
Later in the week, on Saturday, August 22nd, the big symphonic gala begins at 6:00 PM. The full orchestra performs Richard Wagner's Ring cycle, including famous themes like Ride of the Valkyries, Entry of the Gods into Valhalla, and Siegfried's Rhine Journey. The night concludes with John Williams's Star Wars themes. Both events occur at Sala Minas Gerais, known for its excellent acoustics.
Tickets are required for both concerts, with the chamber recital free and the symphonic gala costing between R$40 to R$185. Students, seniors, and other eligible groups receive half-price tickets. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office, with online purchases incurring an 18% fee and sales closing 90 minutes before the concert starts.
To make the most of your evening, arrive 20-30 minutes early to collect tickets and find your seat. Barro Preto, the neighborhood where the hall is located, offers plenty of options for pre- and post-concert dining, including traditional botecos serving cold chopp beer and mineiro bar snacks.
