Brazilian guitar legend Toquinho brings his 60-year anniversary tour to Teatro Guaíra on 29 August 2026, with tickets from R$ 140.
Toquinho, the Brazilian guitar legend, marks 60 years on stage with a Curitiba show on 29 August 2026. The concert, part of his ‘Só Tenho Tempo Pra Ser Feliz’ tour, takes place at Teatro Guaíra.
Who Is Toquinho?
Toquinho, born Antonio Pecci Filho in 1946, is a Brazilian guitarist, singer, and composer. He’s a key figure in bossa nova and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), a genre blending samba, jazz, and folk.
His career spans over 60 years. He is best known for his work with Vinicius de Moraes, the poet and lyricist behind ‘The Girl from Ipanema’.
Together they wrote some of Brazil’s most recognisable songs. This partnership produced some of Brazil’s most beloved music.
His style features gentle, melodic guitar work paired with warm vocals. The lyrics tell stories of love, everyday life, and Brazilian culture.
He’s praised for his intricate fingerpicking and rhythmic sophistication. Globally, he’s less known than bossa nova stars like João Gilberto.
Among Brazilians, though, he’s a beloved household name. If you’re new to Brazilian music, this show is a perfect entry point.
It offers a rich, acoustic tradition that defines the genre.
Toquinho in Curitiba: date, venue and tickets
The Curitiba show is at Teatro Guaíra, specifically the Auditório Bento Munhoz da Rocha Neto, also called the Guairão. The official address is Rua Conselheiro Laurindo, 175, in the Centro neighborhood.
This is the address listed on the official Teatro Guaíra site. Some local agendas list an alternative entrance at Rua XV de Novembro, 971.
Both addresses are for the same theater complex. This discrepancy exists because the Guairão has multiple entrances.
The Rua Conselheiro Laurindo entrance is the one used on official pages. Arrive at 19:00 when doors open to find your seat before the 21:00 start.
This gives you time to settle in without rushing. The venue is a major cultural landmark in Curitiba.
It’s known for its modern architecture and excellent acoustics. It’s easily accessible by public transit, with nearby bus stops.
It’s a short walk from the central area. The theater hosts top national and international acts.
Parking is scarce, so arrive early or use a ride-sharing service. Nearby cafes and restaurants are plentiful.
These spots are perfect for a pre-show meal or post-show drink. Plan your evening to enjoy the full experience.
Ticket Tiers and Prices
Tickets are divided into four sectors, each with full and half-price options. The most expensive is Plateia VIP (Rows A-K) at R$ 600 full and R$ 300 half.
This is the closest seating to the stage. The cheapest is 2º Balcão B (other rows) at R$ 280 full and R$ 140 half.
In between, Plateia (Rows L-V) costs R$ 500 full and R$ 250 half. These middle options offer a balance of view and cost.
1º Balcão A (Row D) is R$ 360 full and R$ 180 half. A 15% administration fee applies to all tickets.
This fee is standard for the venue. Prices are in Brazilian reais.
US dollar equivalents are approximate, using a rate of R$ 5.2236 per US$ 1. This rate follows the Banco Central PTAX close on 14 August 2026.
Official USD prices are not published, so treat these as estimates. For half-price tickets, present a valid ID at the door.
A student card or senior ID works as proof. The discount is mandated by Brazilian law.
It is not a promotional offer but a legal right. Eligible attendees include students, seniors, and other specified groups.
How to Buy and Discounts
Buy tickets online through Disk Ingressos, the official platform, or at physical box offices. These offices are at Shopping Mueller, Teatro Positivo, Teatro Fernanda Montenegro, and Teatro Guaíra.
The online platform lets you pick your exact seat. This is the only authorized online seller.
Several groups get a 50% discount on full-price tickets. Eligible are subscribers to Gazeta do Povo’s Clube do Assinante and Curitiba Cult members.
This discount is applied at the point of sale. Also included are people vaccinated with two or more COVID-19 doses and OAB members.
Fans who are members of Clube Athletico Paranaense or Coritiba Football Clube also qualify. The vaccination discount reflects ongoing public health measures.
Clube dos Mimos members get the discount too. This discount is limited to two tickets per card or membership card.
It is meant to be used for personal attendance only. It cannot be combined with half-price benefits.
Press reports from Curitiba Cult describe ‘últimos ingressos’ (last tickets) available. This suggests the show may be near sell-out.
Use this as a nudge to book soon. However, this is promotional language without real-time inventory data.
Check the site for current availability. The theater recommends purchasing directly from official channels to avoid fraud.
