After a 22-year fast, in 2023, the Empress became champion of the Special Group with the plot “The seizure of the goat that the Excommunicated treated with ill will and the Santíssimo gave no shelter”, written by carnival artist Leandro Viera.
For 2024, the school, which will close the first night of parades on February 11th, is looking for a second title with the theme “With luck turning to the moon, according to the testament of Gypsy Esmeralda”.
