Flamenco Festival 2016

  • Mainstage
  • Mar 10 - 19, 2016
  • Ticket start at $35



Spain’s finest dancers and singers come to City Center for a celebration of flamenco that is stirringly authentic while challenging the conventions of the form. The Festival begins with flamenco superstar Farruquito’s Improvisao, an ever-changing evening that uses live singers and guitarists to capture the spontaneity of a real flamenco “happening.” In Nómada, 11 fearlessly inventive performers from Compañía Manuel Liñán offer a journey through the locales where flamenco took shape. In Compañía Rocío Molina’s thrilling Danzaora & Vinática, discover a completely new dance language that draws on the best of flamenco, ballet, and contemporary dance. The Festival comes to a spectacular finish with Images: 20 Years, a celebration of Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía’s two-decade history as an internationally beloved flamenco ambassador.
Presented by New York City Center and Flamenco Festival
