Marcos Antonio Portugal
Marcos Antônio Portugal (1762-1830) was a Portuguese composer and rockstar of his day, charming 18th-century Europe with operas that blended Italian flair and Portuguese soul. Born in Lisbon, he became a musical globetrotter – studying in Naples, writing hit operas like *Lo spazzacamino principe* (The Chimney Sweep Prince) and *Le donne cambiate* (The Changed Women) for Italian theaters, then returning home to serve as Portugal’s royal composer. His catchy melodies and dramatic swagger made him a favorite in royal courts, though he also flexed his sacred music muscles with works like the *Vésperas de Nossa Senhora* vespers. After a career that saw him composing nearly 50 operas and surviving Napoleon’s invasion of Portugal, his music is enjoying a modern revival – proof that good tunes never go out of style.
