Gil Vicente Academic Theatre celebrates its 63rd anniversay with over 80 events until February
The public presentation of the Autumn season 2024/2025 of TAGV took place on Monday.
The Gil Vicente Academic Theatre (TAGV) is offering more than 80 events until 28 February. The autumn season was presented on the 9th of September, the same day TAGV celebrated its 63rd anniversary.
According to the theatre's director, Sílvio Santos, "our autumn programme aims to promote reflection through art". With co-productions, national premieres, partnerships with various institutions in the city and the launch of a new graphic identity designed by Rui Silva and Sérgio Couto, the TAGV remains committed to its cultural mission.
A "pre-sale campaign" has been launched several performances to mark the 63rd anniversary, says Sílvio Santos. Until 20 September, tickets will only be available at the box office, "with discounts for some performances", he adds. The aim is to "facilitate access and invite more people to come and celebrate this house".
TAGV is "the great concert hall of the UC", said the Vice-Rector for Culture, Communication and Open Science. According to Delfim Leão, the theatre is "central to the cultural pulse of the university", not only "because of the quality of the partnerships established", but also because of the emphasis on research. He noted that the University of Coimbra will continue to invest in the arts, highlighting "the crucial role of the TAGV as a theatre and concert hall".

Box office hours are Monday to Friday, 14:00 - 20:00 (one hour before/half hour after the beginning of the performance).
O TAGV é “a grande casa de espetáculos da UC”, defendeu também o Vice-Reitor para a Cultura, Comunicação e Ciência Aberta. De acordo com Delfim Leão, o teatro tem “uma relevância central para o que é o pulsar cultural da Universidade”, não apenas “pela qualidade das parcerias estabelecidas”, como também pelo destaque dado à investigação. Com a nota de que a Universidade pretende continuar a investir na área das artes no futuro, o responsável sublinhou "o papel essencial do TAGV enquanto casa de espetáculos, onde tudo acontece de forma natural".
