When we arrived, this group was serenading the audience before/during dinner; very elegant setting.

Once dinner was over, the lights went down and the performers emerged to start the show.

There was a large screen that projected various images of Brazil behind the performance.

At times it was difficult to decide which to watch: the beautiful pictures or the dancers.

Roxy Cinema: dinner/theater

January 18 in Brazil ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

This show was aMAZing!!
An immersion 4-hr experience combining food, music & dance. It-s performed in the historic 1938 Cine Roxy in Copacabana.
Apparently in 2025, the Roxy Dinner Show was chosen by Time magazine as one of the World's Greatest Places. We wouldn't disagree. The Time writeup summarized it best:
" A dinner (...) featuring fish and cassava, celebrates Brazilian cuisine; the soundtrack pulsates with the sounds of bossa nova, forró, samba and funk; and the show Aquele Abraço transports guests through the five regions of the country in a vibrant show of colors, percussion and movement," TIME MAGAZINE
Sidenote: the meal was MUCH more than fish ... filet & chicken was available as well. It was all delicious!
The music was terrific -- have audio on during the videos.Read more
