Ópera de Tenerife

The Island Council's new undertaking also offers an open-air performance at the Espacio La Granja this Wednesday.

The first edition of 'Ópera en minúscula' (small-format opera) finishes this week with an open-air show and two performances of Alone with Marilyn. Both events of this programme, presented by the Island Council of Tenerife in collaboration with the Canary Islands Government, will take place at Espacio La Granja at 7.30 p.m. One of the objectives of this new proposal for the Ópera de Tenerife season is to draw new spectators to less conventional venues using innovative formats.

The programme continues this Wednesday (25th) outside the Espacio La Granja with the performance La Plaza. This experiment showcases how eight artists come together to create and seek possibilities within the opera genre, exploring the limits of each of its member's performing skills. This creative process blurs individuality and roles in favour of creativity, fostering a space for vulnerability and affection or a search for commotion. 

With a largely process-based approach, this group has worked as a laboratory during an artistic residency, prioritising search and exploration and shunning the logic of an industry-imposed result. La Plaza seeks to defy the operatic canon by breaking away from judgment, space and time. Entry is free until total capacity is reached.

Two performances of Alone with Marilyn will take place this Friday (27) and Saturday (28). This chamber opera for soprano, mezzo-soprano, electric viola, electric guitar, and soundscapes explores betrayal, self-destruction, and the influence of modern-day myths on society's perception of reality. The National Music Award winner David del Puerto composed this opera's music, combining contemporary styles with classic techniques.

The story is based on Alfonso Zurro's theatrical work with the same title, and Zurro himself adapted it to the operatic format. The work focuses on the everyday life of a mother and supermarket cashier and the crisis she experiences after being abandoned by her husband. Upon hearing the name Marilyn, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and desperation in which she will confuse reality, fantasy, dreams and delirium when she becomes obsessed with the enigmatic figure of the cinema actress Marilyn Monroe. Alone with Marilyn is a co-production of Teatro Xtremo, Ópera de Tenerife and Madrid Cultura y Turismo (MACUTU) of the Community of Madrid.

Tickets for Alone with Marilyn can be purchased at a general price of €10 on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They are also available at the Espacio La Granja box office on the day of the show. Check the special discounts for unemployed people (-50%), the audience under 30 years of age (single price €5), students (-20%), 65 years or more (-20%), large families (-20%), people with a disability degree equal to or greater than 33% (- 20%) and 33% low visibility seats (-20%).

The four shows of the first edition of Ópera en minúscula (small-format opera), programmed under the artistic direction of Ruth González and Ricardo Campelo of Teatro Xtremo, are a selection of operas for soloists and ensembles and represent several periods and styles. Ópera de Tenerife, the opera programme of the Auditorio de Tenerife, has the support of the Canary Islands Government and the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM).

This is a joint initiative that brings together TITSA, the Island Board of Music, and the Auditorio de Tenerife. Free buses are provided over one route in the north and another in the south, specifically for the eighteen Sinfónica de Tenerife season concerts and five Ópera de Tenerife performances.

From this year onwards, it will be easier and more convenient to access the cultural events offered by the Sinfónica de Tenerife and Ópera at the Auditorio from anywhere on the island. With the shuttle buses ‘Lanzadera Sinfónica’ and ‘Lanzadera Ópera’, the Tenerife Island Council will provide free transport from various locations for each orchestra and opera performance. To that end, today (Friday), the initiative was introduced at the Auditorio de Tenerife during a press conference attended by the President of the Island Council, Rosa Dávila, the Island Minister of Culture and Museums of Tenerife, José Carlos Acha, and the Minster of Mobility, Eulalia García.

Rosa Dávila highlighted the importance of the project, which 'Not only promotes cultural participation but also strengthens our commitment to sustainable mobility, reducing the use of private vehicles and promoting public transport for major events. This service aims to encourage attendance at the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife concerts and the Ópera de Tenerife programme while also providing a convenient and sustainable means of transport for music lovers. By launching these shuttle buses, we are facilitating cultural access for all of the island's inhabitants, regardless of their place of residence.

According to José Carlos Acha, the Island Councillor for Culture and President of the Island Board of Music and of the Auditorio, through this project, 'We are helping allow for culture and territorial cohesion, hoping that more people from Tenerife will benefit from the brilliant symphonic and singing season that we have on our island”. Additionally, Eulalia García, the Island Councillor for Mobility and President of TITSA, underscored 'The public commitment of TITSA, the Sinfónica, and the Auditorio, providing a free transport service from all over the island to enhance residents' quality of life while at the same time promoting culture-related tourism’.

The service will be offered on Saturdays when Ópera de Tenerife performances and Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife concerts are to be held.

The shuttles include two special routes to the Auditorio de Tenerife to bring citizens to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife concerts. The first route will depart from the island's north, starting in Buenavista, and the second from the south, beginning in Adeje. Both routes include several strategic stops in different municipalities, allowing residents of various areas to easily access the cultural events held at the Auditorio de Tenerife. The buses, which will be able to service up to 50 passengers (including one specially adapted seat for those with reduced mobility), will be duly identified.

The buses are scheduled to depart at a time that ensures that all passengers arrive at the Auditorium before 7:10 p.m., in time for the concerts, which will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m.

As of 30 September, reservations will be required to use this shuttle service, which is free with a ticket for a symphony or opera performance. Reservations can be made online or at the physical box office, both for tickets already purchased and for future tickets.

Routes and schedules:

Northern Route: Departure from Buenavista at 5:15 p.m., with stops in Los Silos, Garachico, Icod de Los Vinos, San Juan de la Rambla, Los Realejos, La Orotava, Santa Úrsula, La Victoria, La Matanza and Tacoronte.

Opera of Tenerife concludes its season this Saturday (22 June) with an Italian opera show and zarzuela starring the multi-award-winning tenor Xabier Anduaga from San Sebastian. This opera gala, which will feature the Sinfónica de Tenerife orchestra and the main choir Ópera de Tenerife-Intermezzo, will take place in the Symphony Hall of the Auditorio de Tenerife at 7.30 p.m.

Pablo Mielgo from Madrid will conduct and direct the programme, which will include well-known arias by Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi and romances from Spanish opera by composers such as Ruperto Chapí and Pablo Sorozábal. According to the maestro, 'an opera gala is an extraordinary journey with an open dialogue between the worlds of singing and symphonic music'.

For Pablo Mielgo, the Opera of Tenerife's last event of the season 'will exude expressiveness and offer a unique way of transporting the listener through different emotions between opera and zarzuela, from comedy to drama, from passion to regret, and three stars: the choir, orchestra, and the extraordinary voice of Xabier Anduaga. We thus have a winning formula to celebrate that opera remains the most significant expression of all stage arts today, according to the orchestra conductor.

The programme will get underway with several compositions by Gaetano Donizetti from operas such as Lucia de Lammermoor, Don Pasquale and the aria Una furtiva lagrima from L’elisir d’amore. Then, it will be the turn of Giuseppe Verdi and two creations from Nabucco and Rigoletto. After the interlude, the zarzuela will take control of the programme with eight performances from El tambor de granaderos by Ruperto Chapí, Doña Francisquita by Amadeo Vives, Los gavilanes by Jacinto Guerrero, Los emigrantes by Tomás Barrera, La boda de Luis Alonso by Gerónimo Giménez, La tabernera del puerto by Pablo Sorozábal and Luisa Fernanda by Moreno Torroba, featuring the soprano Natividad Oval as soloist alongside Anduaga.

Born in San Sebastian, Xavier Anduaga is a former member of the Accademia Rossiniana with M° Zedda, where he made his international opera debut in 2016 as Belfiore in Il Viaggio a Reims. Since then, he has appeared with the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House, Opéra de Paris, Teatro Real, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Hamburg State Opera, Rossini Opera Festival, Wiener Musikverein, Donizetti Opera Festival and Teatro Regio Parma, among others. Named First Prize winner of the Operalia Singing Competition in 2019, in 2021, he received an International Opera Award as Best New Singer, an Ópera Actual Award and an Opera XXI Award.

Pablo Mielgo stands out for his enterprising spirit and mission to make music accessible to everyone. He is the conductor of the Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears (OSIB) and the Symphony of the Americas (SOTA). He regularly conducts on the great stages of Europe, such as the Wiener Musikverein, in the United States at the Carnegie Hall in New York, Latin America and the Middle East. The Madrid composer, who has founded three youth orchestras, works in close artistic collaboration with orchestras such as the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Arena di Verona and the Qatar Philharmonic. Also, he has served as the musical and artistic director of the SaludArte Foundation since 2005 and as the artistic co-director of the Academia Filarmónica de Medellín since 2011.

The tickets for the Gala lírica, as well as the full programme, are available on the website http://www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office, or by calling the phone number 902 317 327, from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Check the special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed, and large families.

The first two productions are Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos and Puccini's Madama Butterfly.

The programmes Ópera en minúscula (Small format opera) and Ópera barroca (Baroque Opera) are some of the novelties of this cycle.

The audience can subscribe to the season for 100 euros, and under 30s for only 20 euros.

Today, the Tenerife Island Council hosted the presentation of the 2024-2025 season of Ópera de Tenerife.  Five high-end subscription titles have been maintained, with traditional and new titles. The commitments to Ópera en Familia (Family Opera) and Ópera de Cámara (Chamber Opera) have been maintained. Also, new outreach projects are being launched such as Ópera barroca (Baroque Opera) and the Ópera en minúscula (Small format opera) festival, to bring opera to other parts of the island, tackle different formats and initiate collaborations with other institutions.

The island minister of Culture, José Carlos Acha, the deputy minister of Culture of the Government of the Canary Islands, Horacio Umpiérrez, and the artistic director of the Auditorio de Tenerife, José Luis Rivero announced the details of this new series.

José Carlos Acha highlighted that "this year we have five high-level titles, and we have made progress with the baroque opera and some small format models in other spaces, closer to the spectator, with the collaboration of the Government of the Canary Islands and the National Institute for the Performing Arts and Music (INAEM)". "This information reflects months and months of work by the entire team at the Auditorio de Tenerife" stated the island minister.

Horacio Umpiérrez highlighted the level of support from the Government of the Canary Islands since the time of Socaem. He underscored that "the Tenerife Island Council and Auditorio de Tenerife took the bull by the horns when it was necessary to progress towards a different management model that could develop the discipline itself. This model has defined how the other institutions have worked, and now two models coexist naturally in the Canary Islands".

José Luis Rivero stated that "this moment is a party because it marks the start of many months of work and being able to begin selling passes". He noted that one of the objectives was "to be a catalyst for creative developments both in our area and in relationships abroad" and he stated that "the legacy of Ópera de Tenerife for the future is our commitment to contemporary creations". The artistic director of Auditorio de Tenerife also highlighted that "this season is the cheapest in all of Spain".

The five titles included in the pass are the in-house opera production Ariadne auf Naxos  by Richard Strauss (October), Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini (November), a production of the Teatro Comunale di Modena; La bella Susona by Alberto Carretero (December), a contemporary proposal co-produced between Tenerife and the Teatro de la Maestranza, Giovanna d'Arco, by Giuseppe Verdi (March), co-produced by the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, and Parsifal, symphonic-choral synthesis in three acts by Pedro Halfter (June), an adaptation of the work by Wagner for choir and orchestra.

All of these titles involve the participation of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra. The Ópera de Tenerife-Intermezzo choir will participate in all the productions except the season's opening show. The performances begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Symphony Hall of the Auditorio de Tenerife.

Rivero pointed out that this season "marks the culmination of the tetralogy dedicated to women in music history. This fourth year, we are offering another perspective on women's contributions”. He believes that "the aesthetic of the opera of Tenerife works in the sphere of the traditional, the contemporary, and we are broadening out towards the baroque aesthetic and the romantic Lied with different formats. In some programmes such as Ópera en minúscula (Small format opera), we count on significant assistance from the Government of the Canary Islands".

The season begins on 15, 17, and 19 October with our in-house production of the opera in a prologue and one act, Ariadne auf Naxos, by Richard Strauss. This meta-theatre, based on the mythological story of Ariadne, abandoned by her lover Theseus on the Greek island Naxos shortly after helping him to defeat the minotaur, is a testament to the skill of our cast. Commedia dell'arte characters led by Zerbinette, played by the soprano Serena Sáenz, will encourage the princess, the leading role played here by the soprano Irina Churilova, who ends up meeting the god Bacchus, who will be brought to life here by the tenor Michal König. The mezzo-soprano Na'ama Goldman will play the role of composer. The musical direction is by Diego Martín-Etxebarría, and Nicola Berloffa provides the stage direction.

One of the world's most widely performed operas, Madama Butterfly by Puccini, is coming to the Auditorio de Tenerife on 19, 21 and 23 November to move people with the tragic story of Cio-Cio-San. This geisha, played by the soprano Kristine Opolais, puts her all into her marriage with Pinkerton, an American soldier played by tenor Giorgi Sturua, who views her more as a pastime during his time in Japan than as a real partner. The maid Suzuki and the consul Sharpless will be performed by the mezzo-soprano Alisa Kolosova and the baritone Fernando Campero, respectively. Puccini's three acts of this story, celebrating its 120^th anniversary, mix love, betrayal and sacrifice. The musical direction is by Ramón Tebar, while Stefano Monti provides stage direction.

La bella Susona, which takes place on 7 December, tells the story of a young Jewish woman from Seville in the 15^th century. Susona, played by the soprano Daisy Press, betrayed her father, played by the baritone Luis Cansino. She reveals to her lover, a Christian knight played by the tenor José Luis Sola, the existence of a plot, in which her father was the ringleader. The members of the group of conspirators are arrested and executed. La Susona, ostracised and dejected, retires to a convent and orders to place her head above the door of her home upon her death.  Nacho de Paz will be the musical director, while Carlos Wagner will provide the stage design and playwriting.

On 25, 27 and 29 March 2025, Giovanna d'Arco, Verdi's seventh opera will come to the Auditorio de Tenerife. This work tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French peasant girl in the 15th century who contributed to the coronation of Charles VII as king in his battle against the English invasion during the Hundred Years' War. The archangel Michael and two martyrs spoke to the young girl through visions, which provided the keys to leading battles. The cast of this production is led by two Canarian singers with internationally renowned careers: Yolanda Auyanet as Joan of Arc and Airam Hernández as Monarch. The baritone Juan Jesús Rodríguez will play the shepherd Giacomo. The stage direction of Davide Livermore will complement the musical direction by Lukasz Borowicz.

The last of the subscription titles of the season is Parsifal, a symphonic-choral synthesis in three acts by Pedro Halfter, which will take place on 28 June. After the symphonic poem Tannhäuser in 2023, the Madrid orchestra conductor is returning to Ópera de Tenerife to present a reduced version, with choir and orchestra, of a work by Richard Wagner, whom he admires. On this occasion, it is Parsifal, the magnum opus by the German composer about the life of the Arthurian knight and his quest for the Holy Grail.

The season includes a variety of shows, each offering a unique experience. Not included in the subscription, we have the Ópera en minúscula (Small format opera) programme at the La Granja Space, a production of the Auditorio de Tenerife, Teatro Extremo and the Community of Madrid. We also have Die Fledermaus (The Bat) by Johann Strauss (December), a collaboration with the Festival de Música de Canarias (Canary Islands Music Festival) and the Teatro Pérez Galdós, and Leonard Bernstein's chamber opera Trouble in Tahiti (January), a revival of the Auditorio de Tenerife production. In January-February, we present a Baroque opera in collaboration with Teatro Guimerá, accompanied by baroque recitals. In addition, we also have the family opera El retablo de maese Pedro, a puppet production by Compañía Etcétera, Teatro Real and Festival de Música y Danza of Granada, and several opera recitals by the soprano Raquel Lojendio.

Also, the partnership with Ramón Gener as ambassador of the Ópera de Tenerife is being renewed for another season through educational talks that will take place before each title to provide context and discover the musical curiosities of the piece. Ramón, who is also a writer and just published his first novel, Historia de un piano (The Tale of a Piano), is returning, accompanied by his characteristic presentations, piano, and voice. The first date with the Catalan populariser will be 10 July at 7:30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall.

For the new season, the pass for Tuesday and Thursday is 100 Euros, and Saturday is 150 Euros. Those aged under 30 still have the option to get a subscription for 20 Euros. The offer has discounts for large families, wheelchair users, and the person accompanying them. Current subscription holders can renew now, although if they want to change seats or show day, they have to wait until 14 May.  

The campaign for new subscription holders begins on 11 June, and single tickets for subscription titles -30 Euros for the shows on Tuesday and Thursday and 50 Euros for Saturday- can be purchased from 3 July onwards.

Aside from the special price, subscription holders of the Club Ópera enjoy a series of benefits:
