Season 2025/2026

Metropolitana, founded in 1992, has developed a project that is unique in Portugal and very rare on the international scene. Its value is based on transversal performance, combining specialised teaching with the practice of music. One orchestra (OML) and three schools (Conservatório de Música da Metropolitana, Escola Profissional da Metropolitana and Academia Nacional Superior de Orquestra) make up this musical project of choice, which has trained hundreds of professional musicians.

Metropolitana’s daily life is characterised by the coexistence of different generations in the same building (its headquarters, housed in the former Standard Eléctrica building in Lisbon), with the energy inherent in the intense musical sharing between students, teachers, professional musicians and administrative staff.

In order for this project to consolidate and grow, the activity they all carry out is not enough. The music we make is aimed at the public. Without them, our mission would be incomplete; with them, we can do even more.

Join the Metropolitana Friends, a group of members who, through their contribution and presence, are called upon to actively participate in the life of the institution.

See above what we ask of you in exchange for the music and benefits we offer you.
