The station was built on the site of the former Avenida da França station [pt] on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge Porto to Póvoa and Famalicão railway line that operated into the Porto-Trindade terminus.

Like other stations in the common section of lines A, B, C, E and F, Casa da Música sees a very frequent service, with up to 21 trains per hour in both directions.

[5] Plans were announced in 2017 to build an underground Line G which would connect Casa da Música with São Bento.

[7][8][9] Plans were announced in 2022 to build line H to connect Casa da Música to Santo Ovídio on line D. The construction is planned to start by the end of 2023 and to be completed by the end of 2026.
