Portuguese vocalist Ana Moura, whose soul- ful and riveting interpretation of her land’s captivating fado style has made her a star in Europe, brings her gentle, persuasive magic to The Broad Stage. She has become a lead- ing exponent of this poetic, deeply expressive idiom which personifies the Portuguese psyche as it explores such universal themes as lost love, separation, and longing. “She [makes] each song a series of small dramatic surges: glimmers of hope, hints of sensuality, passages of melancholy, glints of determina- tion” (The New York Times). “Moura honors the tradition of fado even as she peers into its future” (Global Rhythm).
