Do you have Friday and Sat, Feb 13 & 14, on your calendar for the dazzling production
Villa y Corte at the City Performance Hall?
To entice your interest and help you ‘get it’ when in your seat, we will be sending you a weekly QuikRead to put on your phone, pad, or even
print. In just two pages you’ll get the essence of the 1. Tonadilla, 2. Francisco de Goya, 3. The Theater
de la Cruz and Principe, and 4. The Palace at Aranjez.
No less than today’s Broadway Musical Theater, these two public theaters were a dazzling source of entertainment for the citizens of the teeming 18th century Spanish capital. This was a vocal showpiece of operatic style for the
most important stars of the day!
With our own Jendi Tarde, Patrick Gnage, and Anna Frederika Popova, the return to our stage of Mexico’s Eugenia Ramirez, and the introduction of Sergio Cepeda, and Spanish dancer Jaime Puente Exposito, the stage will explode
with the tuneful, danced music of downtown Madrid.
Now read on, about the tonadilla.
And watch for next week’s QuikRead on Goya!
