Seeking a summer afternoon of Spanish entertainment, but the pennies can only stretch to a tube ride, rather than a plane? Don’t worry: an authentic Spanish flamenco show has hopped across the English Channel and come to us in London this week – and tickets are still available. The Royal Opera of Madrid is currently touring Europe, the US and Asia, and they are showcasing their lauded flamenco show at Bayswater’s Porchester Hall between June 15–25.
The Royal Opera of Madrid’s authentic flamenco show
For those unfamiliar, flamenco is a traditional style of music and dance that originated in the southern region of Andalusia, and The Royal Opera of Madrid is one of the most esteemed performing arts institutions in Spain. Expect passion, percussion, and sensational skirts, as acclaimed flamenco dancers and live musicians take to the stage at Porchester Hall. There will be a bar on site too, so you’ll be able to enjoy a drink before the show, or take to your seat to sip on as you watch the show.
Award-winning dancer Yolanda Osuna will be leading the performance at the Grade II*-listed building throughout the London dates. She has danced at some of the most prestigious theatres and flamenco festivals in Spain, so it’s guaranteed to be a captivating and vibrant show.
No matter the date you choose to attend this flamenco show in London, you’ll be able to upgrade your tickets to a VIP package if you so wish. This exclusive experience guarantees even better seats, and a meet and greet, with photo opportunities, after the show.
