A fully Mallorcan production

The Director General of Music and Performing Arts, Rafel Brunet, highlighted that choosing these dates, coinciding with Valentine’s Day, makes the show even more special. “It would be hard to have picked more fitting dates for a show about love,” he said.

He also emphasised the artistic quality of the cast and the unique nature of the production. “This is a fully Mallorcan production, featuring an unusual musical selection performed with such a broad instrumentation, making it a one-of-a-kind production in Palma’s theatrical history,” concluded Brunet.
