ADVICE

|
| The
Sambodromo |
| |
The
Sambodromo is a 700-meter (half-mile) long parade
strip flanked by spectator stands and luxury boxes.
On the last Sunday and Monday nights before Lent,
the seats are filled with over 60,000 eager on-lookers.
Tickets cost up to hundreds of dollars each and
sell out quickly.The attraction are the lights,
the sounds and sights of the parading samba schools
that goes on from dusk to day break. |
| Only
the best 14 samba schools parade through the big-time
Sambodromo .The competition to be judged the best
overall samba school is keen - and everyone wants
to win.
It can take over an hour for a single samba school
to pass a given point along the parade route. Each
samba school has showy floats, which are often garnished
with sensuous females vibrating to the hypnotic
music.
The floats are accompanied by marching samba bands
numbering up to 300 musicians - their drummers ceaselessly
pound the contagious samba beat. All is surrounded
by a sea of flamboyantly or scantily clad singer-dancers.
|
These
diverse parade elements must work as a single unit,
dramatizing the same theme, like an opera, which
the samba school changes
annually.
A school can have up to 4,000 participants, so melding
the ensemble into an organic whole is no easy task.
The preparation requires nearly a year of sewing,
building, composing, choreographing and rehearsing.

| Carnival
street processions |
| |
During
Carnival, the cariocas unleash a passion that sweeps
across Rio. The samba street schools that are not
invited to partake in the Sambodromo parade literally
take to the streets. They parade in their neighborhoods
and downtown Rio. Their festivities are free public
affairs - passers-by may join the fun by dancing
behind (and sometimes with) the group's samba dancers
and marching bands. Here you directly participate
while in the Sambodromo seats you mainly observe. |
| Mascarade
Balls |
| These
are celebrity-attended affairs. The merrymakers
wear designer costumes and party from before midnight
to the wee hours. It's an exciting and energetic
experience . A ticket to one of Rio¹s more
glamorous Carnival balls, such as the Copacabana
Palace Ball, costs as much as US$ 200. If this is
way out of your budget dont despair: many of´the
clubs in Rio organize a Carnival ball and as they
only charge around US$ 20 a ticket, these events
are more popular with the backpacking crowd, like
the world famous |
|
Scala Balls or Monte Libano Club. Getting around
town is cheap. Buses charge a standard one-way fare
of 50 cents, and a single ticket on the metro costs
under a dollar. |
