The cultural sector is one of the hardest hit by the consequences of the health crisis. This lack of care and attention that Spanish culture has progressively suffered, has become darker in recent years, and has reached its critical point during the pandemic. Specifically, theatrical venues such as the Maestranza Theater They have come to find themselves in complex situations that have forced them to reinvent themselves and adapt to the new security measures imposed by Covid-19.
The most performed operas
Since it opened its doors in 1991, the Teatro del number 22 of the Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, has been at the top of the Andalusian cultural offer, offering its public the best shows in Seville. Its walls have hosted classics such as Figaro, Carmen O Don Giovanni, and some of them are among the most performed operas in the world, something that has led the city of Seville to be internationally baptized as the “city of opera.”
Now him Maestranza Theater has included the disinfection of the rooms, the reduction of capacity and the mandatory use of a mask, among many other sanitary measures, in its daily routine. All this to ensure that its environment is safe and that we can continue to invest our leisure time in it without worrying about our well-being. At the moment, he has been forced to modify the hours and days of his shows after learning about the new exceptional containment measures decreed by the Government of the Junta de Andalucía, which imply the closure at 6:00 p.m.
Top-quality programming
However, this does not mean that the scenic space continues to count, as it always has, with top-quality programming. Its walls continue to house the greatest treasures of the Andalusian cultural offer. In the coming months you will be able to enjoy operas such as A masked ball by Giuseppe Verdi, concerts like O Sister! or Pat Metheny, dance and flamenco shows, theater and musical works, among many other cultural events of the most varied.
In addition, the Theater is providing its attendees all facilities who can in these tough times. You have already confirmed that tickets purchased in advance for all your shows are valid for the new published times and dates.
Support and understanding is what it needs, and it is what this venue should receive, which has given us so much and asked so little in return. Without his audience, without people who live it, the theater loses the essence that makes him what he is. It is time to mobilize and show that we are capable of protecting the artistic union and giving it the necessary support.
