The Rio musician Roberto de Carvalho 71 years old, widower of the singer Rita Lee (1947-2023), moved the cast of the musical “Rita Lee: A Musical Autobiography ” when watching a rehearsal of the show this Monday (1st).
“It's impossible to describe the emotion of doing a rehearsal of 'Rita Lee: A Musical Autobiography' for Roberto de Carvalho. It is a great honor to be part of this project. Thank you Rita”, wrote actress Mel Lisboa, who will play the singer, on social media.
Now the actor Bruno Fraga , who will play Roberto himself, confessed that he was nervous about his presence. “Roberto was so nice, so welcoming and loving as he passed by. In addition to being super emotional, I felt super hugged by him.”
The rehearsal that Roberto de Carvalho attended was done without costumes or makeup, but just the presence of the actors and the songs.
“It’s like contemplating through invisible cracks the story of my love, our story, performed by such talented kids, very in tune in the musical and spiritual sense, and traveling through time and space to other eras”, commented the musician.
“I’m going to be in the front row”, he announced afterwards.
The musical show about the life and career of Rita Lee premieres on April 26th at Teatro Porto, Campos Elíseos, in the center of the city of São Paulo.
