Antonio Banderas to sing Christmas carols in Málaga: dates, tickets and programme for the Teatro del Soho Christmas Concert 2026

Antonio Banderas will return to the stage at Teatro del Soho CaixaBank in Málaga this Christmas, but this time he will be singing. The Málaga-born actor will take part in the theatre's traditional Christmas Concert, scheduled for December 25 to 28, 2026, in a production combining Spanish Christmas carols, international classics and some of cinema's most recognisable festive melodies.

The major highlight of this year's edition will be Banderas' musical participation, as he performs several songs while also taking responsibility for the show's artistic direction.

The Larios Pop del Soho orchestra, under the musical direction of Arturo Díez Boscovich, will be joined by the Intermezzo Choir, the traditional Antón Pitar Verdiales group and soloists Berna Perles, Lorena Calero and Bella Exum.

The programme will feature songs including Mira cómo beben, The Christmas Song, White Christmas and several compositions by John Williams from the soundtrack to Home Alone.

Tickets are available from €30 through the theatre's official website, its box office and El Corte Inglés ticket outlets.

Antonio Banderas will perform three songs during the Christmas concert

Antonio Banderas' participation will be one of the main attractions of Teatro del Soho's Christmas programme.

The Málaga-born actor, whose career has maintained strong connections with cinema and musical theatre, will play a prominent role throughout the concert.

According to the official programme released by the theatre, Banderas will perform Mira cómo beben, one of Spain's most popular traditional Christmas carols, and The Christmas Song, one of the best-known pieces in the American festive repertoire.

He will also sing Silver Bells, accompanied by the Intermezzo Choir.

In addition, Banderas is credited with providing the spoken text accompanying The First Noel, a performance featuring violin soloist Irene Ortega.

His involvement will extend beyond singing. Banderas will also serve as the production's artistic director, bringing his theatrical experience to its creative conception and staging.

The combination of symphonic music, solo performances and theatrical elements aims to deliver a festive experience that goes beyond a traditional Christmas carol concert.

When is the Teatro del Soho Christmas Concert in Málaga?

The concert is scheduled to take place on December 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2026, at Teatro del Soho CaixaBank, located at Calle Córdoba, 13, in central Málaga.

The latest schedule, published on November 10, includes four days of performances.

An earlier announcement from the theatre had listed performances only on December 25, 26 and 27, at 7 pm. Visitors should therefore confirm the specific performance time for their chosen date before purchasing tickets.

The addition of a fourth date provides more opportunities for those wishing to attend during the Christmas holidays.

The concert will take place at one of Málaga's leading cultural venues, which will also host other activities as part of its theatre and music programme during the festive season.

Berna Perles, Lorena Calero and Bella Exum complete the line-up

The 2026 edition will feature a vocal line-up bringing together performers from different musical backgrounds.

Málaga-born soprano Berna Perles will be among the main performers, appearing in several pieces alongside the orchestra.

She will be joined by Lorena Calero and Bella Exum, two artists with strong connections to musical theatre, who will bring an international musical theatre influence to the production.

Among the announced selections are Christmas favourites such as Jingle Bell Rock and Let It Snow!, alongside a festive medley featuring all three soloists.

The repertoire also includes Sleigh Ride, performed by Berna Perles, Lorena Calero and the Intermezzo Choir.

The variety of performers will allow the programme to move between choral arrangements, vocal solos and performances accompanied by the full symphonic ensemble.

Traditional Málaga verdiales will take centre stage

Málaga's traditional music will also have a dedicated place in the concert.

The Antón Pitar Verdiales group will participate in the production, bringing one of the province's most distinctive expressions of popular culture to the stage.

Verdiales are a traditional form of music and dance characterised by singing, dancing and instrumental accompaniment. They are particularly associated with several rural areas and municipalities in Málaga province.

Their presence will connect the programme's international compositions with local Christmas traditions.

One of the highlights will be the performance of Ya vienen los reyes, featuring both the traditional music group and the Intermezzo Choir.

This meeting of different musical traditions is one of the distinguishing features of the Teatro del Soho Christmas Concert.

Music from Home Alone will feature in the programme

The soundtrack of one of the world's most popular Christmas films will also play an important role in the production.

The orchestra will perform Somewhere in My Memory and Star of Bethlehem, two compositions by John Williams from Home Alone.

Both melodies have become closely associated with Christmas cinema and will be performed with the Intermezzo Choir.

The repertoire will also include White Christmas, featuring violinist Irene Ortega.

Other selections include When You Wish Upon a Star, The First Noel, Silent Night and Sleigh Ride.

The programme will bring together film music, popular songs and symphonic compositions, creating a concert suitable for both classical music enthusiasts and audiences looking for a festive entertainment experience.

Arturo Díez Boscovich will present original compositions

The concert's musical director, Arturo Díez Boscovich, will also contribute several original works.

Among them is Fantasía sobre «Campana sobre campana», a composition inspired by one of Spain's most recognisable Christmas carols.

The programme also features Una visita en Nochebuena, a piece involving a narrator and the Intermezzo Choir.

These compositions will explore new musical interpretations of familiar Christmas traditions.

The orchestra will also perform pieces including Trumpeter's Lullaby, featuring trumpet soloist Alejandro Gómez Peralta, and Bugler's Holiday.

Another special moment will be the Spanish Christmas carol medley, during which audience members will be invited to sing along with the symphonic orchestra and choir.

This interactive element will add a sense of shared celebration to a performance designed to bring people together through Christmas music.
