Lyric music filled the theater of San Bartolomé by the hand of Belén Elvira

The opera singer Belén Elvira filled the municipal theater of San Bartolomé this weekend. During this performance, which was part of the events programmed by the San Bartolomé City Council for Christmas, the artist born in San Bartolomé and currently based in Madrid was accompanied on the piano by maestro Juan Antonio Álvarez Parejo. 

The program included works of different styles within the lyrical repertoire, covering themes ranging from Neapolitan song to bolero and Mexican song, while slow waltz, passing through the songs of maestro Padilla. This concert, always important for the mezzo-soprano because it is "for her people", offered, in her words, "a walk from Slavic mythology to the most gypsy feeling from the operas of Dvorak and Bizet, but without forgetting the Spanish seal, with its own identity through zarzuela".

Belén Elvira in each of the concerts she has offered to her people, San Bartolomé, "has always left the public wanting more and more and this occasion was no less", they have highlighted from the City Council. With a careful and spectacular staging, her voice and the chords of the piano managed to excite the stalls and fill the room with good music. The event was attended by the Councilor for Culture, Alma Mauri, accompanied by the Councilor for Sports, Raúl de León.
