Ballet Nacional de España restages Antonio Ruz’s Electra for its Christmas season at Madrid’s Teatro Real. The splendid production is greeted with widespread audience acclaim.

In the climax of the season at Bridgewater Hall, the BBC Philharmonic bid a fond farewell to Juanjo Mena in an evening that blew off your sombrero. 

It's a rare treat to hear Spanish opera in London; Josep Pons and the BBC SO made a worthy case for hearing Falla’s El amor brujo and Granados’ Goyescas more often.

The Gala is a great introduction to flamenco and a delight for aficionados. It offers a varied repertoire across flamenco disciplines escalating from precision to passion.

Un florilège de Ravel agrémenté de Manuel de Falla : la parenté entre musique française et la musique espagnole n’est pas un fantasme, un certain esprit commun les irrigue plutôt, fait de rutilance du détail et de précision des articulations.
