Event Description

After attracting over 100,000 attendees worldwide, the Royal Opera of Madrid and Fever are bringing the 4.5/5-star Authentic Flamenco to Chicago. On this international tour, Authentic Flamenco will be headlined by the renowned flamenco artist, El Yiyo.

"At 24, El Yiyo is part of a new generation of flamenco artists, some of whom are pushing the boundaries of the traditional Spanish music and dance style by combining it with other genres," says the New York Times. In addition to El Yiyo, other featured artists include El Yiyo, Falete (guitar) and Diego Amador Jr. and Aaron Molina (vocals).

Flamenco is an expression of passion and emotion, and with it, the feelings that make us human are honored and celebrated. Originating in Spain, this special show, created in partnership with the Royal Opera of Madrid and produced by SO-LA-NA, brings together award-winning professionals for an unforgettable performance with stunning vocals, melodies, and choreographies. Whether you’re an avid flamenco lover or are just experiencing this amazing art form for the first time, there’s no better, more authentic way to witness the raw power of this captivating Spanish art form firsthand.
