Another highlight is the soundtrack, which brings together about 40 musical numbers with notable songs of soap operas and programs, such as “Brazil”, the theme of Vale Todo, as well as successes that went through decades and helped build the affective memory of the public.

With language inspired by the magazine theater, “Magic Mirror” combines humor, music and dramaturgy to revisit the recent history of the country from the perspective of television, reinforcing the cultural impact of the network over six decades.
