The opera "Candinho", which portrays the childhood of Cândido Portinari, is performed at this concert by the Ensemble ProART. The show is commented by André Cunha Leal.

Structured in one act and ten scenes, the play mixes reality and fiction by recreating the daily life of the painter's home village, the children's games and the moments that led to the artistic awakening of one of Brazil's greatest painters. Portinari's works serve as inspiration for the sets and costumes, creating a rich visual experience that complements the musical narrative. The story involves characters such as Maria José, D. Gondola and the emblematic Beringela the Clown, who make up this plot about artistic awakening and the importance of community support in developing talent.
