The cultural season of Santa Eulària 2025 kicks off this Saturday, January 11, at 7 p.m at the Teatro España, with the dance show ‘Chelo y pasión’. It will be the first of a first quarter of the year in which there will be opera, theater and music on different stages of the municipality.
‘Cello and passion’. The Ibizan duo GipsyCor, formed by two dancers with a long artistic career, arrives with a new show that fuses and reinterprets gypsy dances from around the world. This project, which draws from ancestral traditions, invites the audience to experience a unique journey that reaches from the subtle Persian dances to the hypnotic Sufi dance, through the vibrant energy of Balkan dances. The show also incorporates elements of contemporary dance, thanks to the participation of promising young Ibizan dancers such as Sasha Garcia, who brings a fresh and innovative style.
The musician Carlos Vesperinas will put the musical touch with his cello. The price of the tickets is 6 € plus booking fee, and at the box office they can be purchased for 8 €. Children under 12 years old will benefit from a 50% discount.
tosca’. And from dance to opera, because the Palau de Congresos will host next February 8, the play ‘Tosca’. This show is part of the Platea program of the Ministry of Culture. It is an opera in three acts, with music by Giacomo Puccini and libretto in Italian by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It was premiered in Rome on January 14, 1900 and has since become one of the most performed operas. Along with ‘Madama Butterfly’ and ‘La bohème’, it forms the trio of Puccini’s best known operas.
The show will be performed by the Compañía Lírica y Orquesta Martín i Soler with 18 performers on stage. Tickets are priced at 20 €, plus booking fee, and 25 € at the box office on the day of the performance.
‘Lorca, poeta flamenco’. The program continues on February 22, at 8 p.m. at the Teatro España with ‘Lorca poeta flamenco’. With flamenco, poetry, music and dance, the dancer and artistic director Leilah Broukhim, presents a show of flamenco singing, guitar and dance that pays tribute to the revered Granada poet Federico García Lorca and his love for the art of flamenco. Inspired by the poet’s popular songs and flamenco lyrics that were sung during the first Concurso de cante de jondo in 1922 in Granada.
‘Lo cant de les ànimes mudes’. The appointment with the musical theater will come on March 15 with the show Lo cant de les ànimes mudes. With original music by Ismael Dueñas and performed live, this show is based on the work of the writer Víctor Català (pseudonym used by Caterina Albert) and tells the story of the love that arises in the heart of two Catalan rural families that accumulated years of disputes and fights over land. A new love between the heir and heiress of each house could change this situation.
‘Bewilderment’. On March 23 the appointment is with music and with the performance ‘Desconcerto’ at the Palacio de Congresos. A group of musicians will unleash a whirlwind of melodies ranging from opera to pop, hip hop and classics by Vivaldi, Beethoven and even Michael Jackson. A dynamic show with 12 musicians chasing their director on stage, entangled in romances and creating music with unusual objects such as bottles and typewriters. Breaking with convention, Desconcerto offers a gestural theater full of action, where each movement tells a story and the music becomes the true protagonist.
‘El meu pare cremava pedres’. The end of the four-month program will be with object and shadow theater. From the hand of the company Tian Gombau, on April 13 at the Cultural Center of Jesus, the play ‘El meu pare cremava pedres’ will be performed. A show that narrates a craft, a family living in the rural world where fire and traditional festivals make up the human landscape in which this story unfolds in a time not as distant as it seems.
