The Lanzarote Classical Orchestra Association - OCL, presents the VI Candlelight Concert which has the generic title A Night at the Opera next Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in the Charco de San Ginés, where 3,000 seats will be available.
A night at the opera is composed of the Lanzarote Classical Orchestra with 42 musicians, the soloists, the soprano Arantxa Cooper, the tenor Gabriel Álvarez, the mezzo Alba Cruz and the bass Pau Armengol, under the direction of the maestro José María Vicente.
The show will also feature a tribute to the figure of César Manrique with the world premiere of "A César" by the composer Leandro Quinteros and the set design by the Tenesa Sol Gymnastics Club.
The Antonio Zerolo, La Destina, Mercedes Medina and Adolfo Topham schools are participating this year with the contribution of decorated light bottles to place candles in them and fill the Charco de San Ginés with these lanterns that will light up in the blackout that takes place during the Concert.
