Víctor Ullate Ballet: Teatro Real in Madrid
About the Event
The Víctor Ullate Ballet and Spanish renowned flamenco singer Estrella Morente perform a new version of El amor brujo at the Teatro Real, Madrid's opera house.
Written by Manuel de Falla in 1915 as a piece for cantaora (folk singer) and chamber orchestra, was transformed by the composer ten years later into a pantomimic ballet, has a marked Andalusian flavour and delves into gypsy mysticism, approaching love in its most primitive and essential form. It is a story of love and passion, tears and grief, sorcery and seduction, death and dance. One original feature of this version is the inclusion of three folk songs written by Falla: Nana, Polo and Asturiana.
It is a new version, then, of El amor brujo, different in its forms, but eternal in its essence.
