📅2 July 2026 – 4 July 2026

Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning rock musical, "Rent," arrives at Coliseu Porto Ageas for a limited engagement. This production brings the acclaimed musical to Porto, offering audiences the opportunity to witness the story of a group of struggling young artists and musicians navigating life, love, and loss in New York City's East Village during the late 1980s. The musical, which premiered in 1996, explores themes of community, identity, and resilience against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic.

Attendees can expect a full-scale theatrical production with a runtime typical of a Broadway-style musical, including an intermission. The performance will be delivered in English, with Portuguese subtitles provided, making it accessible to a broader audience. Coliseu Porto Ageas, a historic and grand venue in the heart of Porto, provides a classic setting for this contemporary musical, accommodating a large audience in its tiered seating.

Tickets for "Rent" are available for purchase, with prices varying depending on seating location. Given the limited run from July 2nd to July 4th, 2026, securing tickets in advance is advisable. Coliseu Porto Ageas is centrally located and easily accessible via public transport, a short walk from Bolhão metro station (lines A, B, C, E, F).
