On 11 October 2003, the Coliseu de Lisboa hosted a remarkable show where Carlos do Carmo celebrated his 40 years of career on stage, with the participation of an exceptional musical cast and very special guests. In the first part, there was Carlos do Carmo fadista, accompanied by a luxury ensemble with Ricardo Rocha and José Manuel neto (Portuguese guitar), José Maria Nóbrega and Carlos Manuel Proença (viola) and Fernando Araújo (bass). In the second part, Carlos do Carmo counted on the presence of the Lisbon Symphony Orchestra to accompany him in some of his great classics, with arrangements by the renowned pianist Bernardo Sassetti.
