Hospital de Santa Marta (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɔʃ.piˈtaɫ dɨ ˈsɐ̃.tɐ ˈmaɾtɐ], "Saint Martha's Hospital") is a public Central Hospital serving the Greater Lisbon area as part of the Central Lisbon University Hospital Centre (CHULC), a state-owned enterprise. Originally a Poor Clares nunnery, it became one of the country's main schools of Internal Medicine during most of the 20th century; more recently, it became especially differentiated in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery: it is one of the main reference centres on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in Portugal.

Novobanco

novobanco is a Portuguese bank introduced on 4 August 2014 by the Bank of Portugal to rescue assets and liabilities of Banco Espírito Santo (BES). BES was the second largest private financial institution in Portugal in terms of net assets, as well as one of the oldest and most reputed Portuguese banks. The rescue of Banco Espirito Santo came after weeks of increasingly bad news about the financial state of the lender, particularly its exposure to a cascade of companies headed by its founding Espirito Santo family headed by Ricardo Salgado. BES was to be split into a "good bank", renamed Novo Banco, and a "bad bank", which will house BES's exposures to the troubled Espirito Santo business empire as well as its Angolan subsidiary BESA. Novo Banco was recapitalised to the tune of 4.9 billion euros by a special bank Resolution Fund. The Portuguese state lends the fund 4.4 billion euros. The bank had a board for the 2014-2017 mandate presided by Vítor Bento.A month and a half after he started up his duties, Vítor Bento abandoned the leadership of Novo Banco and was replaced in September 2014 by Eduardo Stock da Cunha.The Resolution Fund is the bank's only shareholder until a sale transaction takes place. This fund is a structure created in 2012 with contributions from Portuguese banks and from the financial sector, and its operations are audited by the Portuguese regulator Banco de Portugal.Novo Banco incorporates every staff, branch, deposits, credit customers and holders of senior bonds of Banco Espírito Santo.In August 2014 Novo Banco launched its first communication campaign, to mark the beginning of the change in the image of the bank. From the campaign, whose symbol was a butterfly, the bank launched its new identity on September 22, which incorporated the animal's wings in the shape of a mathematical power, as a way to symbolize the commitment to “have once more the leading role it once had.” The change in the brand was made progressively, starting by the facades in the bank's branches.On 30 June 2015, the resolution fund had received three binding bid offers on Novo Banco, from the Spanish banking group Banco Santander SA, the Chinese insurance group Fosun International Limited, the privately owned Chinese insurer Anbang Insurance, and the American private-equity firm Apollo Global Management. One of the bidders opted to improve their offer on 7 August 2015. The selection and sale to the final winner of the bidding process is expected to take place during Q3-2015. On 20 August, Banco de Portugal released a statement that the final phase of the sale process, was expected to conclude by 31 August. In September however the sale was cancelled owing to the offers being deemed unsatisfactory.In March, 2016, it was announced that Portuguese state-rescued lender Novo Banco was planning to cut 1,000 jobs to help to reduce operating costs by 150 million euros ($163 million) as part of its restructuring plan agreed with the European Union. The proposed job cuts equated to 14 percent of the bank's workforce at the time.In October 2016, the resolution fund had received four offers on Novo Banco from China's Minsheng Financial Holding, Apollo and Centerbridge and Lone Star. In January 2017, Aethel Partners made an offer to buy Novo Banco.In March 2017, the Portuguese Central Bank announced that Lone Star Funds will acquire 75% of third largest Portuguese bank, Novo Banco, in return for a capital injection of €1bn. The other 25% will be retained by the Portuguese bank's resolution fund. In October 2017 the deal was closed and Lone Star Funds started controlling 75% of Novo Banco.

Teatro Avenida

Teatro da Avenida, better known as Teatro Avenida, was a theatre located at 150 to 156 Avenida da Liberdade in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, which operated from 1888 to 13 December 1967, when it was completely destroyed by fire. Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the city was rebuilt under the instructions of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal. The reconstruction included the development of a park, oriented south-east to north-west, known as the Passeio Público. The park's borders rapidly became a popular location for the elite to build their homes and, over time, it was considered necessary for a road to be built through the park. The Avenida da Liberdade was completed in 1886. The Teatro Avenida opened on 11 February 1888 and until 1906 was the only entertainment facility on the Avenida da Liberdade. It had a very simple appearance, with little architectural distinction. On the ground floor of the façade were four wooden doors, while on the first floor there was an iron balcony across the width of the façade. The initial reception of the interior by Lisbon's newspapers was very positive although, over the years, it became criticised for being small, cramped and lacking in suitable emergency exits. In part, this criticism may have been because an additional 96 seats were added in the 20th century. Theatre companies occupying the Teatro Avenida often experienced difficulties in making a profit, particularly in its early years. Almost all genres passed through the theatre, but it found it easier to fill the house for operettas, variety shows, farces, comedies, and sentimental dramas. It had its greatest public and commercial successes in the 1920s and 1930s with popular shows, such as those put on by the Satanela-Amarante company and the Maria Matos- Mendonça de Carvalho company, and with plays involving such stars as Palmira Bastos, Alves da Cunha, and Chaby Pinheiro. Other actors to perform there included Beatriz Costa, Eunice Muñoz, João Villaret, Laura Alves and Vasco Santana. By the 1950s, however, serious consideration was being given to the future of Teatro Avenida. The owner had announced his intention to sell the building and had tried, without success, to evict the tenant. There were several proposals regarding what to do with the site, including one that involved the construction of a larger, modern theatre. In 1964 the Rey Colaço-Robles Monteiro theatre company moved into the theatre following the destruction by fire of the D. Maria II National Theatre, which it was then occupying. It carried out some remodelling as the Avenida had suffered from considerable neglect. Amélia Rey Colaço, the actress and impresario, used much of her own money in this upgrading and the theatre reopened on 6 February 1965 to a favourable reception, with the Diário de Lisboa noting that it was "newly dressed to hide its old age", stating that it had been transformed into a small theatre in the style of Paris. In less than three years, however, the Avenida was also destroyed by fire, which broke out 30 minutes before a performance of The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter was due to begin on 13 December 1967. The cause of the fire was believed to have been an electrical fault. The theatre was completely destroyed, with the firefighters having been hindered by a lack of water pressure. In September 1970 the Lisbon municipality approved the demolition of the building and it was replaced by an office building.

Teatro Maria Vitória
Teatro Maria Vitória

The Teatro Maria Vitória is a theatre in Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It is located in the theatre district of Parque Mayer. Dedicated primarily to revues, which are known in Portugal as Teatro de Revista, the Teatro Maria Vitória opened on 1 July 1922 in the Parque Mayer (Mayer Park) district of Lisbon, which was at one time known as the “Broadway” of Lisbon. The theatre was named in honour of a fado singer, Maria Vitória, who had died at a young age in 1915. It started life as a wooden building. The playwrights, Ernesto Rodrigues, Félix Bermudes and João Bastos, played an important role in the theatre's early performances, working under the pseudonym of the “Troianos”. It was the first of the four theatres in the area, the others being the Teatro Variedades and the Teatro Capitólio, which both still exist, and the Teatro ABC, which was demolished in 2015. Teatro Maria Vitória suffered a fire on 10 May 1986, which destroyed the entire building and contents, forcing the performing company to temporarily transfer to the Teatro Maria Matos. In 1940, the fado singer Amália Rodrigues made her debut as an actress at the Maria Vitória. Shows also featured international attractions, such as the Brazilian Bibi Ferreira, who drew large crowds to the theatre. The 1960s were particularly fruitful, with the Portuguese actor Raul Solnado starring in two shows that would mark his career: A guerra de 1908 (The war of 1908) and História da minha vida (The story of my life). After the Carnation Revolution of 25 April 1974, which overthrew the Estado Novo dictatorship, the theatre quickly changed the name of the revue being performed from "See, listen ... and shut up" to "See, hear ... and speak", assuming a turning point had been reached in the creative freedom and expression for theatrical writers. For much of its life the theatre has been used by the impresario, Hélder Freire Costa, who celebrated 50 years of promoting shows at the Maria Vitória in 2014. It was Costa who, together with Vasco Morgado Júnior, was responsible for rebuilding the theatre after the 1986 fire, with the reopening taking place in 1990. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, when it closed its doors temporarily in 2020, the Maria Vitória was the only theatre in Lisbon still presenting revues on a regular basis. This is despite the fact that Costa has stated that it is too small to be profitable for revues that require a large cast.
