The Ensaios da Anitta are a series of live shows performed by singer Anitta, aimed at celebrating the pre-Carnival season in Brazil. Launched in January 2019, these events take place annually in January and February, traveling through various Brazilian cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, and Belo Horizonte. These shows were conceived by Anitta as a way to energize her audience for her Carnival street party, the "Bloco da Anitta", offering a mix of live music, dance, and themed performances.
Each edition of the Ensaios da Anitta has its own theme, which influences the visual production, including set design, costumes, and the overall aesthetic of the event. The theme often inspires the outfits of the attending audience, who frequently come dressed in costumes. An example of this was the 2024 edition, which featured the theme of samba schools.
The shows feature a setlist that blends various musical genres, including funk, pop, samba, pagode, and axé, reflecting the diversity of Brazilian popular music. In addition to Anitta's performances, the Ensaios also include special appearances by other popular artists in Brazil. Throughout the editions, artists such as Pabllo Vittar, Luísa Sonza, Gloria Groove, Leo Santana, Ferrugem, Jão, Psirico, among others, have taken the stage, offering the audience exclusive collaborations and joint performances.
The Ensaios da Anitta have stood out for their large-scale production and for being held in vast open-air venues, such as the Arena de Pernambuco, in Recife, and the Latin America Memorial, in São Paulo. The audience at these events is diverse, ranging from thousands of Anitta fans to others looking to enjoy the Carnival atmosphere. Since its inception, the event has seen tickets sell out quickly, establishing itself as one of the main attractions of the Brazilian summer calendar.
The growth of the project has led the Ensaios da Anitta to expand its presence to various regions of Brazil, becoming a traveling event that draws both tourists and locals alike. For 2025, Anitta has chosen the theme "Anitta Marathon", inspired by the Olympics and sports events. After the opening of the ensaios de 2025, Anitta shared that over 100,000 tickets were sold in a single day, with the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro dates selling out in less than 40 minutes, prompting the addition of new dates.
The 2025 edition raised over 120 tons of non-perishable food for Indigenous communities.
Internationalization Anitta has announced plans to expand her pre-Carnival event, the "Ensaios da Anitta", to an international stage. The singer revealed that Portugal could be one of the first countries to host the project, noting that if her performance at the Festival Sudoeste is well received, it could encourage the team to take the event outside Brazil. On February 5, 2026, the singer confirmed the first international edition of the event, in Lisbon, Portugal.
