On the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of Manuel de Falla’s seminal chamber opera, “El retablo de Maese Pedro,” come celebrate the diversity and richness of Spanish culture with a week of events in Washington, D.C.
The 100th Anniversary of Falla’s masterpiece, icon of the so-called Silver Age of Spanish culture that saw the emergence of such international figures such as Lorca, Dali, Buñuel or Picasso, deserves a special celebration.
For one week, we will showcase today’s vibrant Spanish culture in the nation’s capital with a series of events spanning a range of disciplines such as literature, theater, music, heritage and public diplomacy.
