3rd Georges Bizet Festival – Cante Flamenco – Jesús Méndez & Pepe del Morao
Presentation
From the ramparts of Seville to the salons of Pauline Viardot in Bougival, the 3rd Georges Bizet Festival celebrates the 150th anniversary of the creation of Carmen as part of the European Heritage Days. A musical invitation to return to the roots of Andalusian traditions with a Cante Flamenco concert performed by one of the most authentic and moving voices of flamenco from Jerez: Jesús Méndez.
It is this capacity to recreate the expression of Gypsy culture that is at stake both in the opera Carmen and in the performance of Jesús Méndez. Recognised as one of the leading voices of flamenco in Jerez, he shares the stage with performer Rocio Molina and in prestigious productions by Carlos Saura and Andrés Marín. He will sing accompanied by flamenco guitar in front of the Viardot villa, opposite the Tourguéniev Dacha-Museum, in a 300-seat venue.
