In this vibrant musical journey from 16th-century Spain to baroque Latin America, music of Spanish composers Diego Ortiz, Gaspar Sanz, and Santiago de Murcia blends virtuosity with lively dance rhythms. Sephardic ballads from the Jewish Quarter of Seville celebrate love and life. Crossing the Atlantic, we encounter a joyful mix of Hispanic and Caribbean influences. Internationally-acclaimed Puerto Rican soprano Sophia Burgos joins friends on strings, harp, guitars, and percussion.
This December, The Flamenco Nutcrackerreturns to the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center for its fourth year! Celebrate the season with this unique twist on the holiday classic in an unforgettable evening filled with the passion of Flamenco. Follow the clicking castanets of the Sugar Plum Fairy as she leads us into an enchanted winter wonderland. Direct from Spain, guest dancer Manuel Gutierrez dazzles with his powerful footwork and commanding stage presence in the role of the Matador Prince. The original Tchaikovsky score is woven with the music of Spain and the hispanic diaspora in an original score performed live. Join us for a magical holiday celebration like no other in this family friendly performance.
Run Time: 65 min. No intermission. A show for all ages
