The delegate of the Treasury, Juan Bueno, said that “this is a unique representation […] whose tickets, free access, will be available from 12:00 noon on Monday March 24, on the website of the Real Alcázar”.
And is that the opera in question takes us to the Seville of the sixteenth century, which highlighted enclaves such as the Atarazanas, the Port, the Casa de la Contratación, the Cathedral or this spectacular palace that the Alcázar.
Music, lyric, interpretation and an iconic staging will serve as a structure to narrate this epic and link it to the city. Fernando de Magallanes lived in Seville between 1517 and 1519 and married Beatriz de Barbosa, daughter of the warden of the Alcázar, Diego de Barbosa.
