About

From the 2023 Festival de Granada, just steps away from the Alhambra, experience the world-class talents of the Spanish National Ballet in a dramatic new work by their director Rubén Olmo! Operatic in scope, the emotional La Bella Otero tells the story of the famed Carolina Otero, a dancer and actress born in 1868 who rose from humble origins in Galicia to become a star at Paris's Folies Bergère, and whose renowned beauty made her a coveted companion of royals and artists. With dance styles ranging from folk to flamenco (with the incredible Patricia Guerrero!) to contemporary, La Bella Otero plunges us into the atmosphere of belle époque Paris with a large cast of impeccable dancers and lavish costumes by Yaiza Pinillos.
