The show “The Magic Palace of Christmas” celebrates 35 years of Bradesco’s Christmas in Curitiba with music, lights and solidarity.
The windows of the historic Palácio Avenida in downtown Curitiba are set for another season of Bradesco’s traditional Christmas show. In 2025, the theme “The Magic Palace of Christmas” invites the audience to relive the wonder of childhood and rediscover the magic that the season brings to everyone.
The performances will take place on December 5 (dress rehearsal), 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14, always at 8:15 p.m. The event promises to enchant audiences with music, light and emotion in a celebration that unites tradition, art and solidarity.
A story about the child within us
Inspired by the child’s light and dreamy perspective, the show pays tribute to childhood as a symbol of purity, hope and love — the essence of the Palácio Avenida choir. The story follows a girl who discovers a magical Christmas world inside the building, in a journey of wonder and joy.
Conducted by maestra Dulce Primo and musically directed by Camilo Carrara, the show presents emotional Christmas songs that celebrate the magic and transformative power of the season. According to Raquel Bonaparte, Bradesco’s head of brand experience, this edition connects generations and reinforces the true meaning of Christmas.
“It is at this time of year that we realize the child we once were never ceases to exist — it simply transforms and reappears when the Christmas spirit touches us.”
Music, emotion and tradition
The choir will feature 90 children from foster institutions in Curitiba, supported by 100 volunteer angels — Bradesco employees who accompany them throughout the performances. The 2025 repertoire includes 12 songs divided into 9 acts, with new pieces such as “Era Uma Vez” (Kell Smith) and “Vou Deixar” (Skank), alongside classics like “Aquarela” (Toquinho) and “Natal Todo Dia” (Roupa Nova).
To transform the Palácio Avenida into a truly magical setting, more than 105,000 LED lights will be used, reducing energy consumption by up to 80%. Intelligent controllers and sensors will optimize illumination according to natural light levels.
Broadcast and accessibility
Produced by Bradesco Studios, the show will be broadcast live on the Teatro Bradesco YouTube channel on December 6 at 8:15 p.m. The streaming will feature Libras interpretation, audio description and an accessibility support team, ensuring inclusion for all audiences.
Toy donation campaign
The Bradesco Volunteers Program leads the annual toy donation campaign, running from November 17 to December 21. The gifts will go to the seven institutions that host the children’s choir. More information can be found through Voluntários Bradesco.
