The educational concert ‘Growing up with the ROSS’ at the Alameda Theater, the recitals at the Seville Guitar Festival and the end of the Icónica Fest set the musical note
The weekend’s agenda is loaded with cultural proposals so that each and every citizen who stays in Seville or visits our city can enrich their leisure plans with music, theatre, urban art exhibitions, literary meetings, colloquiums or exhibitions of various disciplines, and thus enjoy the city much more.
All in all, the most notable novelty this week is the start of the season in two municipal theatres, the Lope de Vega and the Alameda. Specifically, the Lope de Vega Theater opens the new course next Friday the 14th with the absolute premiere of a work that aims to be one of the great theatrical events on the national scene: The life is dream, in a new reading by the prestigious British playwright Declan Donnellan who, for the first time throughout his successful career, directs a production in Spanish. And he does it with the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico, LaZona and Cheek by Jowl.
The life is dreamCalderón de la Barca’s masterpiece premiered in 1635, consists of three acts and mixes tragedy with comedy to deal with the freedom of the
human being to shape his life, without letting himself be carried away by destiny. In this new reading, Donnellan underlines the existential uncertainty that Calderón enclosed in this baroque drama. The performances will be on the 14th and 15th at 8pm and on Sunday the 16th at 7pm.
For its part, the Alameda Theater, which has also opened a new season this week, will host the first recital of the cycle of educational concerts for family audiences ‘Grow up with the ROSS’, launched in collaboration with the Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville and in which popular stories will be the protagonists. In this line, The Bremen Town Musicians will be the focus of the workshop and concert scheduled for Sunday 16 (12 noon).
guitar festival
The music continues with an instrument as the protagonist thanks to the XIII Seville Guitar Festival. On Friday the 14th (8:00 p.m.), Espacio Turina will host the show by the Argentine Pablo Marquez and the croats Split Guitar Quartet. Márquez will focus his recital on the folía, the famous dance of Iberian origin that inspired hundreds of works over the centuries. And Split Guitar Quartet will dedicate its recital to the music of Croatian and Serbo-Croatian composers in a program full of pieces for the guitar quartet. Also at Turina, the flamenco guitarist Jose Fernandez will interpret the program ‘La Peña neighborhood to later accompany the singer Raphael of Utrera at his recitalIntimate’ (Saturday 3pm, 8pm).
In addition, outside of said festival, the Laraña street stage will hold a new appointment in the ‘Baroque Autumn 2022′ with a concert by the Young Baroque Orchestra of Seville conducted by Valentín Sánchez Venzalá. The youth morning, as this traditional family recital of early music has been called, it will go through pieces by Arcangelo Corelli, Vivaldi, Haendel and Boccherini.
