“Authentic Flamenco is a captivating live dance performance that showcases the rich heritage of flamenco, a traditional Spanish art form. During the 65-minute live presentation, audiences will be delighted by an expression of raw passion and emotion featuring award-winning Spanish artists,” General Manager of Teatro Real, Ignacio García-Belenguer, told us. “We’re excited for the audience to be immersed in a cultural, passionate performance. Because of the raw nature of this artistic expression, some artists may vary parts of the performance depending on their connection with the audience throughout the evening, making each performance a unique experience.”
Last year, Teatro Real brought Authentic Flamenco to cities around North America on tour, giving audiences around the country a taste of this fantastic Spanish art form. “2022 marked the first time Teatro Real brought flamenco to the United States with an orchestral performance that took place at Carnegie Hall in September, attended by Queen Sofia of Spain, the Mayor of New York and the Mayor of Madrid, followed by the debut of Authentic Flamenco with stops in New York, Washington DC and Dallas,” García-Belenguer explained. “Seeing how positively received it was by audiences in the region, we decided to expand and bring the show to over 20 cities worldwide, with 15 new cities in North America, including Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and more.”
Flamenco originated in the southern regions of Spain in the 18th century. It is characterized by its fiery footwork, intricate hand movements, and expressive facial expressions, which are all used to convey a range of emotions from joy and love to sadness and despair.” Flamenco is an expression of passion and emotion; with it, the feelings that make us human are honored and celebrated,” García-Belenguer said. “Whether you’re an avid flamenco lover or just seeing it for the first time, there’s no better, more authentic way to witness firsthand the power of this beloved Spanish art form.”
