Opinião 50 years after

On the 11th December 1964, the musical Opiniao, directed by Augusto B oal premiered at the 'Teatro Arena' in Rio de Janeiro. The show was considered a protest against the socioeconomic situation in Brazil and became a reference to what would be known as protest music against the regime, which established itself in Brazil in March that same year. In this text, we will attempt to analyse how this show substantiated the various social and poltiical demands at the time, and how it became an eastehtic and poltiical paradigm. At the same time, we will compare the original production with a re-interpretation of the spectacle in 2014, organized by the Moreira Salles Institute, with the particiaptiaon of the group Casuarina and the singer Joyce. The aim is to understand how, fifty years after the coup d'etat and the show Opiniao, Brazilian music and art not only reflect that historical moment but also its rol in the contemporary socio-political context. _ _ A 11 de dezembro de 1964 estreava o espetaculo muscial Opiniao, no Teatro Arean no Rio de Janeiro, dirigido por Augusto Boal.
