Lyrical Gala with Juan Diego Flórez

The festival will open on July 31 with a lyrical gala featuring tenor Juan Diego Flórez, recognized for his impeccable technique and expressiveness. Flórez will perform selections of opera by Rossini, zarzuela compositions, and orchestral pieces, accompanied by the Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra and the Cap Rocat Festival Choir. The gala will be directed by Pablo Mielgo, director of the Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra.

Pianist Rudolf Buchbinder to Perform
