A collaboration between Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company and the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, Amor Brujo is a captivating dance-theater production directed by Siudy Garrido and conducted by Sebrina Maria Alfonso. The show seamlessly blends the mesmerizing world of flamenco with a timeless masterpiece by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, bringing to life a passionate narrative. The story follows Candela, a grieving widow, as she navigates the presence of her husband’s ghost and discovers new love in Carmelo. Conceived in 1915, de Falla’s one-act ballet El Amor Brujo (Love, the Magician) is based on songs and folktales Spanish dancer Pastora Imperio and her mother had shared with de Falla and folktales. El Amor Brujo was cast as a Gitanería (Gypsy entertainment), with songs, dances and spoken dialogue. Garrido’s 2024 production is a restaging of acclaimed performances, including the 2015 premiere with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a sold-out 2018 performance with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra and a spellbinding 2019 rendition at the Hollywood Bowl. The first act will premiere symphonic compositions by Jose Luis de la Paz and Juan Parrilla, setting the mood for Falla’s masterpiece. Garrido’s Amor Brujo promises an immersive celebration of rhythm, passion and the universal language of music and dance. Witness the magic of flamenco and symphonic music uniting in harmony, transcending cultural boundaries and leaving an indelible mark on the soul.
