Montevideo to Madrid

Uruguayan-Spanish tenor Santiago Sánchez is a current BBC New Generation Artist and a member of the ensemble at Theater Bonn. He has already appeared at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera and the Salzburg Festival, and he made an immense impression at last year’s Festival, stepping in at short notice. He brings a programme that demonstrates some of the glorious breadth of Latin-American song, including an enchanting cycle by Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, Las horas de una estancia (‘The Hours on a Farm’), and songs from Uruguay. The concert concludes in Spain, with Manuel de Falla’s passionate and evocative Seven Popular Spanish Songs.
