Seville becomes, literally, a stage to enjoy some opera performances totally free, outdoors. It happens in the framework of the Seville Opera Festival, which started last Wednesday September and will run until October 12.
The event, which is expected to take place every two years interspersed with the Biennial of Flamenco, will disseminate a score of shows in various parts of the city.
In fact, ‘Acércate a la ópera’ is part of the parallel activities, a musical cycle at street level to enjoy the opera for free, with the streets of the city as a witness.
