THE SUN PLACES joins this cultural celebration of the Seville Opera Festival, offering its guests a comprehensive experience: luxury accommodations and privileged access to a festival designed to explore different buildings in the city of Seville.
Under the artistic direction of Francisco Soriano, professor and expert in vocal repertoire, the festival is structured around three masterful themes that connect past, present, and future:
A dialogue of anniversaries: Simultaneously commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Sevillian composer Manuel García and the 150th anniversary of the premiere of Bizet's universally acclaimed 'Carmen'.
The eternal myth of Don Juan: Exploring the figure of the transgressor from Seville who conquered stages around the world.
Living opera: A commitment to lyric poetry as a complete art form, in connection with dance, poetry, and other contemporary expressions.
A Unique Experience: Opera in the Monumental Settings of Seville
The true magic of this festival lies in its location. Attending a performance becomes a complete sensory experience where music merges with heritage.

A must-see for culture lovers.
Who designed the Seville Opera Festival poster?
The presentation of the Seville Opera Festival also featured an artistic gem: this year's official poster, a creation by renowned Sevillian artist Ana Barriga.
With her characteristic colorful style, full of pop echoes, Barriga has conceived a work that goes beyond simple illustration. The artist describes it as a "conceptual map" where opera is personified in a female figure, replete with subtle nods and symbols that represent "all the roles an actor can play." In essence, the poster is a vibrant reflection on opera as a mirror of life itself, a play of roles and emotions on a grand scale.
This poster not only promotes the Seville Opera Festival; It is a bridge between contemporary visual language and lyrical tradition, uniting the most avant-garde local talent with the most classic cultural programming.
