"Opera & Zarzuela Dreams is the greatest show that can be seen today in the world of opera."

Ópera & Zarzuela Dreams arrives in Málaga next Saturday, December 27th, at the Martín Carpena Sports Palace, for a one-time performance at 8:30 PM. This show merges the best of music, cinema, and theater into an unprecedented multisensory experience. In this interview, Javier Bahillo, President of IMC Group, the organizing company of Ópera & Zarzuela Dreams, reveals some of the secrets of a truly unique show that brings together 20 of the most famous arias in history, with spectacular choirs, dazzling ballets, and a staging with live music and the most advanced audiovisual technology.

What will the audience find if they attend Ópera & Zarzuela Dreams next Saturday 27th at Martín Carpena?

Ópera & Zarzuela Dreams offers an experience that goes beyond a simple concert: I can proudly say that it is the largest and most complete show available today in the world of opera.

It is a show that represents the 20 most famous pieces from the historic repertoire of opera and zarzuela. Every three minutes, the audience will enjoy the best moments from timeless works like La Traviata, Turandot, Madame Butterfly, or Carmen.

It is a proposal open to all types of audiences, beyond those who are fans of opera. It is a technical and artistic display of such magnitude that, even if you are not a purist of opera, you will greatly enjoy it; it is a constant emotion that thrills the audience.

What would you highlight about the production and staging that accompanies Ópera & Zarzuela Dreams?

It is a fusion of cinema, theater, and music. The cinematic commitment of the show is evident from the choice of its director, Álvaro Saenz de Heredia, who has directed highly successful films and the series 'Ana y los 7', starring Ana Obregón.

The staging features a large LED giant screen that projects more than 20 different visual settings, synchronized with our live singers. Additionally, two auxiliary screens allow the audience to feel the excitement from any corner of Martín Carpena, creating a grand theatrical spectacle.

In addition to this visual display, the singers are accompanied by choirs, ballets, and a carefully staged performance.

Its presentation in Málaga will be additionally attractive as it will feature, for the first time, the accompaniment of the Málaga Symphony Orchestra, with nearly 30 musicians perfectly synchronized with world-class tenors and sopranos, such as Bernardino Atienza, José Darío, or Eduvigis Moragas.

How has the audience reception been?

It has been impressive: more than 40,000 people have passed through the box office during the summer season in Madrid at the Rialto Theater. We managed to sell out more than 60 performances, with tickets selling out day by day.

What reasons would you give to the audience in Málaga not to miss Ópera Dreams?

Mainly, two reasons. First, because they will only have one opportunity to enjoy it next Saturday: in Málaga, whoever doesn't come on the 27th will miss it and will regret it.

And second, because it will be the grand spectacle of this Christmas in Málaga, a unique concert like few others, ideal for the whole family to enjoy.
