Inaugural Gala of the Bienal de Flamenco: El mundo por montera
The Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza hosts the opening gala of the 24th edition of the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla, the most significant flamenco art event on the international scene. This inaugural evening brings together great masters of cante (song), guitar, and dance on a single stage in a historic production designed especially to mark the start of the festival.
During the show, you will be able to enjoy live performances by iconic figures such as José Mercé, José el de la Tomasa, Martirio, Arcángel, and La Tremendita, accompanied by the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía under the direction of Patricia Guerrero. The staging takes advantage of the acoustics and solemnity of the bullring's albero sand to offer a display of root flamenco singing and contemporary dance.
The event takes place on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 9:30 PM. It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance through the Biennial's official platforms, with seats available from €25.
