Granada's Music and Dance Festival firms up its stakes on flamenco and Spanish dancing. The dance program of the event, now in its fifty-fourth edition, is split up between three companies: María Pagés, the Spanish National Ballet and Rafael Amargo.

María Pagés presents the show ‘Canciones, antes de una guerra’ at Isabel la Católica Theater on Monday, June 27th. The Spanish National Ballet stars in the revival of the Generalife Theater on Tuesday the 5th and Thursday the 7th with ‘El sombrero de tres picos’ (‘The Three-Cornered Hat’) and ‘Café de Chinitas’, both with curtains and wardrobes designed by Dalí. Esperanza Fernández and Chano Domínguez are the company's guest artists.

Rafael Amargo takes his new show ‘DQ... pasajero en tránsito’ to the Isabel la Católica Theater on Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th, dedicated to the 400-year anniversary of the publication of ‘Don Quixote’. The festival, which offers a complete international program of classical, symphonic and chamber music, is complemented by flamenco ‘all-nighters’ at peñas and caves in Granada, with artists such as Rocío Bazán, Rocío Segura and Antonia Heredia, among others.
