Show da Virada is a Brazilian musical television special produced and broadcast by TV Globo since December 31, 1998. It is an end-of-year special created to replace Réveillon do Faustão (1991–1997), airing on the last night of the year, following the prime-time telenovela if the date falls between Monday and Saturday, or Fantástico if it falls on a Sunday.
For much of its history, the program featured a variety of Brazilian musicians from different genres performing in a pre-recorded studio show with an audience dressed in white. These recordings were edited before airing, as many artists have other commitments on New Year's Eve. In 2021, the format changed to a curated playlist featuring multiple Brazilian artists. In 2022, it was revamped again to include a live show broadcast directly from Copacabana.
Since its debut, a new edition has been produced annually, with a fresh lineup of artists. The only exception was the 2020-2021 edition, which was replaced by a rerun of the previous year's show due to the network canceling production because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][1]
History
[edit]First Phase (1998–1999)
[edit]1998–1999
[edit]For the first edition of the Show da Virada, directed by Carlos Magalhães with general direction by J. B. de Oliveira (Boninho) and artistic direction and creative supervision by Aloysio Legey, Globo set up a 50m x 17m panel on Copacabana Beach. This served as the stage for a light show directed by Patrick Woodroffe, lighting director for the English band Rolling Stones.
Starting at 11:20 PM, reporters Zeca Camargo and Renata Ceribelli hosted the broadcast from the terrace of the Rio Atlântica Hotel, showing preparations for the traditional fireworks display. Additional reporters stationed at strategic locations in major cities across Brazil provided live coverage of celebrations in other states. A total of 12 cameras were deployed on Copacabana Beach, including one mounted on an airship and another on a helicopter. The traditional countdown to announce the arrival of 1999 was led by Globo actor Stênio Garcia.
Another feature of the Show da Virada was prepared by the team from Vídeo Show. Four special segments were broadcast throughout the program. The first featured the most emotional scenes from telenovelas that premiered that year, such as Torre de Babel by Silvio de Abreu, and the second adaptation of a classic by author Janete Clair, Pecado Capital by Gloria Perez. Another segment highlighted the most memorable reunions of 1998, such as Xuxa's return to her audience after maternity leave. The third segment covered famous actresses who had children that year, and the final segment showcased the most romantic kisses of 1998.
This edition aired on a Thursday night, following the telenovela Torre de Babel.
1999–2000
[edit]The transition from 1999 to 2000 received significant attention in the programming of various television networks in Brazil and worldwide. Rede Globo participated in a consortium called "Yes 2000," alongside 27 broadcasters from 24 countries. Each channel agreed to share images of their respective New Year’s Eve celebrations. On Globo, these images were shown in news programs and throughout its schedule as "flashes."
At 10 PM on December 31, the Show da Virada aired, anchored by commentator Galvão Bueno and directed by Roberto Talma. The broadcast was divided into five segments, featuring live links from four locations in Brazil—Rio de Janeiro (RJ), São Paulo (SP), Salvador (Bahia), and Praia de Torres (Rio Grande do Sul)—as well as other parts of the world. In New York, reporter Edney Silvestre covered the Brazilian celebration in Times Square, where a big screen displayed Rio's festivities to Brazilians living there. Footage of Manhattan was also broadcast in Brazil.
The festivities in Rio were prominently featured. On Copacabana Beach, simultaneous performances were held on four stages set up by the City of Rio de Janeiro and Globo. The stages hosted shows by 24 artists. Globo broadcast highlights, including performances by Beth Carvalho, Luís Melodia, LS Jack, Virginia Lane, Ivo Meirelles and the group Funk'n'Lata, Pedro Luís e A Parede, Emilinha Borba, Marlene, Carlinhos de Jesus' Dance Company, and the samba schools Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel and Mangueira. Actors Danielle Winits, Rodrigo Faro, André Marques, and Luís Carlos Tourinho hosted the performances, each on one of the stages. Along the beachfront, 20 electronic totems were set up as part of the community broadcaster TV Copacabana. Three reporting teams interviewed attendees. The event was hosted by Cissa Guimarães, and J.B. de Oliveira (Boninho) directed the project.
The broadcast interspersed live performances with three- to seven-minute skits featuring artists from Globo's main programs, coordinated by directors Dennis Carvalho and Ricardo Waddington. The tone was humorous, with special segments from Mais Você (with Ana Maria Braga and Louro José giving tips on lucky New Year's foods), A Turma do Didi (featuring Renato Aragão, André Segatti, and Eliezer Mota), Casseta & Planeta, Urgente!, Muvuca (with Regina Casé, Marco Nanini, and Tonico Pereira), Sai de Baixo, and Domingão do Faustão.
Special segments also included Globo artists and journalists wishing a happy 2000, featuring Antonio Fagundes, Ana Paula Arósio, Fábio Assunção, Cristiana Oliveira, Cláudia Abreu, Mauro Mendonça, Maitê Proença, Edson Celulari, Maria Padilha, Thiago Lacerda, Samara Felippo, Malu Mader, Deborah Evelyn, Sérgio Chapelin, and Jô Soares. The program also included a music video by Xuxa and a special musical performance by Sandy e Junior.
The journalism team also prepared surprises, such as the "Desk of the Future," where children of news anchors read stories from their parents’ usual news desks. Athletes who excelled in 1999 shared predictions for the following year. Special reports were also shown during the Show da Virada. A segment titled "Our Heroes" featured anonymous heroes reunited with those they helped, such as Catita, a dog who saved a six-year-old boy, Lucas Tavares Martins, from two pit bulls.
As the year turned, alongside the fireworks display, Globo actors toasted the new year to the song Um Novo Tempo, with a chorus led by Sandy and Junior. To conclude, actor Antonio Fagundes read a text by Brazilian writer Jorge Amado.
In São Paulo, New Year’s Eve celebrations had a samba and pagode theme, with a live concert from Parque do Anhembi starting at 10 PM on December 31. Hosted by Luciano Huck, in his debut as a Globo presenter, the event featured reporter Márcio Canuto interviewing attendees. Anticipating Carnival, all 22 samba schools in São Paulo performed alongside bands like Skank, singer Alcione, and the pagode group Os Travessos. A Globo journalism team covered the event’s backstage. Directed from Rio by Roberto Talma, the program aired on a Friday night after the telenovela Terra Nostra.
