‘Flamenco Passion’ is a lavish production of original Spanish Classical ballets, folkloric suites, and fiery Flamenco dramas including a rendition of Ravel’s ‘Bolero’. Under the artistic direction of founder Dame Libby Komaiko and associate artistic director, Irma Suárez Ruiz, Ensemble Español is internationally recognized as the premier center for Spanish dance, music, and culture in America. Its 40 sensational dancers, singers, and instrumentalists promote Spanish dance culture in all its forms - from flamenco to traditional folkloric to classical renaissance to the 21st century. The Ensemble’s repertoire contains original work as well as choreography influenced by the National Ballet of Spain.
The performance will be preceded by a free pre-show lecture in Babka Theatre from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. during which a member of Ensemble Español will share background information on the guest dance company and the evening’s performance. The pre-show session closes with a question-and-answer period.
