Benamor(2021)

A happy dream that is the best medicine for the nightmarish times that we are living through

Benamor is a Spanish operetta that premiered in 1923 at El Teatro de la Zarzuela and became composer Pablo Luna's greatest musical triumph. The work features an inspired and witty libretto that critics consider among his finest compositions. Following its Madrid debut, the operetta found success across Latin America, with productions mounted in Cuba and Mexico. Benamor remained a stage staple throughout the following decades, continuing to draw audiences into the 1950s and cementing Luna's legacy as a master of the Spanish musical theatre tradition.
