I think the best site for checking out events is the Cultural Agenda published by the City of Lisbon.

It's in Portuguese, but it pretty easy to understand: http://www.agendalx.pt/cgi-bin/iportal_agendalx

I agree with taconictraveler that the concerts at the Gulbenkian are generally excellent and very reasonable, since they are subsidized by the foundation.

Happy birthday and have a great trip to Lisbon. There is lots of fun to be had there, and prices are very reasonable. I have terrific memories of late nights listening to fado and eating secrets of the black pig.

Happy birthday! What a super surprise. Have a great time.

Here are a couple of Lisbon posts from my blog. We were there in May and really enjoyed it.

Try to go to hear fado at Mesa de Frades. The music was memorable and the food execrable. Unfortunately you have to take the dinner to reserve a seat for the show. Eat before you go and just assume the price is for the music alone.

Before the limo gets here, I want to express my sincere appreciation to everyone for their advice, memories, tips, etc. This is exactly the sort of thing that has kept me coming to Fodors for over 13 years now.

As usual, we can't hope to properly thank you all for the information you've shared. So the best we can do is 'pay it forward' with a trip report and pictures.

Obrigado!
