Carnival at the Sambadrome
This evening programme brings you the legendary carnival of Rio de Janeiro live at the Sambadrome. Indeed, four top-league samba schools present their parades in a single night. Moreover, it is an experience few visitors ever forget.
Almost Twenty Thousand Performers
Each school brings around 4,500 dancers in elaborate costumes and eight decorated floats onto the 800-metre parade avenue. Altogether, nearly twenty thousand performers take part in a sea of rhythm, glitter and colour. Your ticket covers the sought-after sectors 3 to 7, which have no fixed seating but excellent views of the action. Above all, the sheer scale of the spectacle is impossible to convey in photographs.
