Casino Lisboa celebrates, next Wednesday, the 19th of April, seventeen years of activity, marked by a significant influx of public, which reflects well the success of Casino da Estoril Sol.
It was precisely in 2006 that Casino Lisboa was inaugurated, having received, since then, more than 25 million visitors, around 1.5 million / year, which corresponds to a daily average of around 4,000 entries.
Considered a reference in the tourist offer of the Capital, Casino Lisboa distinguished itself, right from the start, for its wide range of shows and exhibitions, among other cultural initiatives. A playful and leisure space where art, entertainment, gastronomy, culture, shows, and social events coexist harmoniously with the game areas.
These are very expressive numbers, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, which in 2020 and 2021 had a negative impact on visitor arrivals at Casino Lisboa. During this period, it was closed to the public for 260 days, the equivalent of 9 months, in compliance with the rules imposed by the Government, within the scope of the application of the State of National Emergency.
Shows at the Auditorium of the Oceans
In seventeen years of activity at Casino Lisboa, 173 different shows were staged at the Auditorium dos Oceanos, in a total of 2,977 sessions/performances, attended by more than 1 million and 414 thousand spectators.
Shows like STOMP, Momix, Crazy Horse, The Best Sketches of Monty Python, A Verdader Treta, Blue Man Group, Vai-se Andando, Cado na Rede or The Voca People, It’s Like The Other Says, Rock The Ballet, Slava Snow Show , Home Sweet Home, Poor Millionaire, Are We All?, 40 And So?, First Name, GOD, Plaza Suite, Filho da Treta, Os Dias Realistas, More Respect That I Am Your Mother, Raul, Zé Manel Taxista, Selfie, The Worst Especalho do Mundo, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, A Peça que Dá para o Torto and Trair e Coçar é Só Beginningr, among others, were great successes at the box office, selling out sessions for weeks at the Auditorium dos Oceanos, the concert hall from Casino Lisboa.
It should be noted that the comedy “Betraying and Scratching is Just Starting”, since its premiere on October 19, 2022, sessions have been uninterruptedly sold out. It was on stage until January 31st and, more recently, from March 1st to 12th, 2023. There were 84 sessions that recorded more than 54 thousand spectators. This piece will be back at Casino Lisboa’s Auditorium dos Oceanos, starting on the 19th of April, the day on which Casino Lisboa celebrates 17 years of activity.
Animation in the Arena Lounge
The central space of Casino Lisboa – the Arena Lounge – was the stage for musical shows, as well as new circus performances. About 755 music bands performed on the multipurpose stage, in addition to ambient music and the Juke Box item.
With regard to the performances of “Novo Circo”, around 190 artists from various countries and continents, including Portugal, took to the central stage of the Arena Lounge.
The musical entertainment at the Arena Lounge also included the realization of the “Arena Live Concerts” cycle, in the months of November and December, from 2006 to 2019 (except 2009, 2012, and 2013), starring national and international reference bands ( see chart). In the years 2020 and 2021 the Arena Live Concerts were not held, having returned in 2022.
Art Gallery
The Casino Lisboa Art Gallery hosted around 140 exhibitions of contemporary art and avant-garde works, among others, always with free admission. Located in the area surrounding the Arena Lounge, the Art Gallery thus constitutes a reference in the recreational and cultural offer of Casino Lisboa.
With an avant-garde layout and interior aesthetic options marked by originality, Casino Lisboa is recognized for the highest and most sophisticated quality standards, playing an important role in boosting the city’s tourism.
