Valencia (13.05.22). The artists of the Centre de Perfeccionament will star in the 'Matins a Les Arts' session this Sunday, May 15, in which they will offer a recital with pieces from operetta and zarzuela.

The Main Hall is, once again, the setting for this activity, with which Les Arts invites the public to discover the building designed by Santiago Calatrava and learn about its artistic activity 'in situ' from its main assets for just five euros.

Pianists José Alberto Sancho and Ignacio Aparisi accompany the singers of the Centre de Perfeccionament: sopranos Rosa María Dávila and Pilar Garrido; mezzo-sopranos Laura Orueta and Mariana Sofía García; tenor Jorge Franco, and baritones Carlos Reynoso, Marcelo Solís and Alejandro Sánchez.

The repertoire for this new edition of 'Matins a Les Arts' includes pages from such celebrated titles as the operettas 'Die Fledermaus' by Strauss, or 'Die Lustige Witwe' by Lehár, as well as fragments of zarzuelas such as 'Luisa Fernanda' by Moreno Torroba; 'Cecilia Valdés' by Gonzalo Roig, or 'El barberillo de Lavapiés' by Asenjo Barbieri.

As a complement to the performance, the main lobby also hosts an exhibition of the costumes designed by Louis Désiré for Les Arts' production of the zarzuela 'La corte de Faraón' by Valencian Vicente Lleó, which could be seen during the theater's second season.
