 Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville |
Avenida de la Republica Argentina 25 Paseo de Colón, 22 Seville 41011 Spain +34 95 422 3344 http://www.rossevilla.com/ |
The Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville (ROSS), one of the best musical companies in Spain, offers the traditional Extraordinary Christmas Concert in the Theatre of the Maestranza, and it has become a must for classical music lovers. The quality of the ROSS is often coupled with a feature soloist or prestigious choral group from Europe invited to join the event. This serves to make the concert even more worthwhile and interesting, and a true beginning to the Christmas celebration that is well received by music-loving Sevillian audiences.

From the 70's |
Calle Sierpes 25 Seville 41004 Spain +34 95 422 6878 http://andalunet.com/teatro-im... |
Situated in the centre of Seville, very close to La Campana, this is an old cinema converted into a theatre after the decline of cinema at the end of the 70's. The playhouse maintains the flavour of old theatres, seats, decorations, and above all plays that it stages. The programming is dedicated for a large part of the year to musicals, 'zarzuelas' (traditional Spanish opera), operettas, and concerts by well-known and popular singers. One of the best things about this theatre is its location. Forming part of the heart of the city, from here you can easily get to Sierpes Street, Plaza Nueva, Plaza de San Francisco, the Ayuntamiento, or Iglesia del Salvador. Nearby you can find bars, shops of all types, banks and above all the Plaza del Salvador, a great place to meet and have a beer in the evening. Ticket office hours: 10a-2p & 6p-9p.

Its annual programming includes every type of performance and in its classic seats you can enjoy operas, concerts of classical music, flamenco and popular Spanish music. It has toilets and access for people in wheelchairs. It is in a privileged location, it is very close to Plaza España which was a very important place during the aforementioned Exposition; it is also just a few meters from Maria Luisa Park and to the old tobacco factory which now houses Universidad Hispalense. These places must be visited, because along with unquestionable beauty they also represent modern and global Seville. Review © 2007, Wcities |
