Juanjo Mena brings an evening of music from his native Spain to the Bridgewater Hall to celebrate his last Manchester concert as Chief Conductor of the 大象传媒 Philharmonic.
Falla's opera 'La vida breve', brings colourful, descriptive music, infused with Spanish dance rhythms to a heart-breaking story of unrequited love and class inequality. The 大象传媒 Philharmonic is joined by Spanish soloists and Madrid-based choir, Coro RTVE. Martin Roscoe joins the orchestra for Albeniz's 'Rapsodia espa帽ola' and the concert opens with more music by Albeniz, the Overture to his opera 'The Magic Opal'. Written when the composer was living in England at the end of the nineteenth century it provides a sparkling opening to the concert.
