Ramón Gener returns a second time this month to the Chamber Hall of the Auditorio de Tenerife to talk about the contemporary opera La bella Susona. The meeting with the music disseminator will take place on Wednesday (20 November) at 7:30 p.m. For these presentations, enriched with live singing and piano accompaniment, the tickets for the general public are priced at 8 euros and 5 euros for those under 30. The price for the more than 1,200 subscribers to Ópera de Tenerife is 4 euros.

Ramón Gener, who is also a writer, will develop the evolution of music up to the present day, in order to understand its keys, where it comes from and why. He will also reveal the details of this tragic play based on real events. This opera is a co-production of the Auditorio de Tenerife and the Teatro de la Maestranza of Seville.

La bella Susona  tells the story of a young Jewish woman from Seville in the 15th century, who betrayed her father and reveals to her lover the existence of a plot, in which her father was the ringleader. The members of the group of conspirators are arrested and executed. Susona, ostracised by her people, converted to Christianity, but the Christians too, like her beloved, despised her. The dejected Susona retired to a convent and was ordered to place her head above the door of her home upon her death.

Ópera de Tenerife programmes for 7 December at 7:30 p.m. in the Symphony Hall this new work, the third subscription title, with a score by Alberto Carretero and a libretto by Rafael Puerto. Tickets are already nearly sold out.

The final lecture of Ramón Gener during this season as the ambassador of Ópera de Tenerife, focusing on Giuseppe Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco, is scheduled for March 14, 2025.
