Rio By Night VIP: Dinner and Cultural Show at Roxy Copacabana
An evening of Brazilian culture, cuisine, and live performance in the heart of Copacabana
This Rio de Janeiro dinner show takes place at Roxy Copacabana, a venue named one of the best places in the world in 2025 by Time magazine, housed inside a storied former cinema. The experience combines fine Brazilian dining with a full-scale theatrical performance in one of the city's most talked-about new spaces.
The evening unfolds across two distinct acts. First, guests are treated to a curated dinner prepared by award-winning chef Danilo Parah, featuring a starter, main course, and dessert served alongside live Bossa Nova from the resident Roxy Band. The culinary menu draws from Brazil's five distinct regional traditions, offering a genuine cross-section of the country's food culture.
After dinner, the venue transforms into a stage for the musical production called Aquele Abraço. Created and directed by Abel Gomes, who also designed the opening and closing ceremonies of the Rio 2016 Olympics, this show traces the colors, rhythms, and stories that define Brazilian identity. The performance blends folklore, dance, and music into a single compelling narrative about the country's diversity.
At the close of the evening, guests are transferred back to their hotel in comfort and safety, rounding out a complete and well-organized night out in Rio.
