A Night In Rio is a celebration of the joy and music of Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest parties on the planet. Act 1 is based on a traditional street rehearsal, where samba school communities gather to learn the year's song, dance, and practice drum rhythms and breaks. During Act 2, the buzz builds as Carnaval approaches and Austin Samba explores music and dance from throughout the country of Brazil that can be found in the bars and streets of Rio. The show concludes with Act 3, when Austin Samba dons their fancy Carnaval costumes and performs the classic enredo “Aquarela Brasileira,” by Martinho da Vila.
