Early in the morning, we went to Dresden’s theatre to attend the first rehearsal with the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra. In the photograph, you can admire the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), which is the symbol of Dresden.
The Teatro Manoel, where Cañizares interpreted Concierto de Aranjuez by Maestro Joaquín Rodrigo, is one of Europe’s oldest theatres. The theatre’s history is clearly reflected in the interior decor.
Last Saturday, Cañizares attended a premiere by the Spanish National Ballet, to commemorate the company’s 40th anniversary, and Antonio Najarro’s, the company’s director, final production. As always, it was a spectacular concert.
Last weekend, we had the opportunity to witness the world premiere of ‘Concierto Mediterráneo’ to the memory of Joaquín Rodrigo, in L’Auditori (Barcelona). The work was written by Cañizares, on commission of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya.
The concert in the Paris Philharmonie followed the two concerts in Lille, a city in northern France, near the Belgian frontier.
