Tickets for the show in the Generalife are now on sale with large discounts for advance purchases

Tickets are now on sale for this summer’s “Lorca y Granada” show at the Generalife. The show entitled “En la memoria del Cante: 1922” will be performed by the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía dance company.

The vocal lead in ‘En la memoria del cante: 1922’ directed by Rafaela Carrasco will be the flamenco singer José Enrique Morente, son of Enrique Morente. The show is inspired by the famous flamenco singing competition that took place in Granada in 1922. It uses dance to commemorate some of the greatest singers in the history of flamenco and to praise the work of some of the great personalities from the world of art and culture who organized this event, including Manuel de Falla, Ignacio de Zuloaga and the young Federico García Lorca.
The 2014 edition of the Lorca and Granada programme in the Gardens of the Generalife will run for a total of 30 nights. From 22nd July to 30th August there will be a show every night (except for Sundays and Mondays) at 22:00 hrs. .
The show will include songs and pieces performed at the famous event in the Plaza de los Aljibes in the Alhambra over 90 years ago: the soleá by ‘El Tenazas’, the seguiriya by Manuel Torre, the toná by Caracol and the saeta by la Niña de los Peines. In the choreographies, the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía will include part of the original recordings that still survive today and will add new features that will make this show a personal and contemporary vision of an event that proved to be a turning-point in the history of flamenco.
The ticket price is 32 euros, although discounts are available for advance purchase. Tickets may be purchased for 18 euros up until the 21st July. From the first night (22nd July) onwards, there will be a special offer of 2 tickets for the price of one every Tuesday and Wednesday and there will also be discounts for the unemployed, pensioners, students, youth card and tourist pass holders and visitors to the Alhambra and Generalife, who will be able to purchase tickets for 20 euros.
