The tickets for tomorrow's talk of the music disseminator are already sold out.

 

Tomorrow (Tuesday 5th), at 7.30 p.m., the Auditorio de Tenerife will host a new musical lecture performance by musical educator Ramón Gener. Tickets for this event are sold out. During this performance, he will provide insights into Giacomo Puccini's opera, Madama Butterfly, which will be staged on November 19, 21, and 23 at the Symphonic Hall. All three performances of the opera are also sold out.

Gener will discuss one of the world’s most frequently performed operas, which tells the tragic story of Cio-Cio-San, a geisha who dedicates herself to her marriage with Pinkerton, an American soldier. However, Pinkerton views her more as a curiosity during his time in Japan rather than a genuine partner. The three acts of this heart-wrenching tale intertwine themes of love, betrayal, and sacrifice. Puccini's drama has captivated audiences for 120 years, and the performances in Tenerife coincide with celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Italian composer’s death.

Ramón Gener will return to the island on November 20 to explore La Bella Susona by Alberto Carretero. His final lecture as the ambassador of Ópera de Tenerife, focusing on Giuseppe Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco, is scheduled for March 14, 2025. For these presentations, Gener enhances his explanations with live piano accompaniment. Tickets for the general public are priced at €8, while those under 30 can purchase tickets for €5. Opera subscription holders will receive a 50% discount, bringing their ticket price down to €4.

Born in Barcelona, Ramón Gener has a degree in humanities and business studies. He began his musical education at the Higher Conservatoire of Music of the Liceu at the age of six. After several years of performing as a baritone, he transitioned to a new role as a music educator. He offers lectures on opera, classical music, and art, which have been featured on radio and television, both locally and internationally. Gener has published four books: Si Beethoven pudiera escucharme (2013), El amor te hará inmortal (2016), Beethoven, un músico sobre un mar de nubes (2020) and Historia de un piano (2024), with which he won the Ramon Llull Award.
