After four sold-out performances at its world premiere in Albuquerque, Llantos

1492 is now ready to go to the next level. This groundbreaking opera by Adam del

Monte redefines the genre, blending authentic flamenco cante jondo and dancing

styles with the depth of operatic voices to create a hauntingly powerful experience.

A new paradigm of opera composing, Llantos 1492 bridges cultures and musical

traditions, bringing the raw intensity of flamenco to the grandeur of opera. The

result is a visceral, deeply moving work that transcends boundaries.

Set against the backdrop of the 1492 expulsion of Jews from Spain, and

enslavement of the Gitanos, the opera explores social turmoil and the search for

justice. It is a story of exile, resilience, and the enduring human struggle for

belonging—one that feels as urgent today as it did centuries ago.

In a time of global coexistence and intolerance struggles, Llantos 1492 could not

be more relevant. It reminds us of history’s lessons and the power of art to inspire

dialogue and change.

With its overwhelming success and universal themes, Llantos 1492 is poised to

captivate new audiences. More than an opera, it is an artistic statement—a

powerful, necessary work for our time.
