Ballet Español de la Comunidad de Madrid:
VIAJE AL AMOR BRUJO
ballet performance
Wednesday, August 26, 2026, 8:00 PM (rain date: August 27)
Margaret Island Open-Air Theatre
75 minutes without intermission
We invite our audience on a journey woven with passion and mysticism, where the eternal interplay of love and death is entwined with the ancient power of dance and music.
Manuel de Falla’s legendary work, El Amor Brujo, now shines in a new light: the Madrid company’s bold and fresh interpretation blends classical music with the fiery world of flamenco, tradition with contemporary expression, so that every moment of the masterpiece speaks to today’s audiences with modern sensitivity.
The evening begins with Falla’s Seven Popular Songs, continues with a homage to Debussy, and finally culminates in the cathartic power of The Magic Love. This special musical pilgrimage is accompanied throughout by one of the greatest magicians of the guitar, Dani de Morón, whose playing opens up new worlds. The roots of the creation reach back to Madrid’s golden age, yet it is timeless: through the rich, ever-evolving art of Roma culture, it evokes the heart and soul of Spain and Latin America.
The premiere will set off from Margaret Island on its conquering world tour!
