The luxurious Baroque Rome of Popes Urbano VIII and Inocencio X, the one built by Bernini and Borromini that we admire so much today, listened to the refined music of Palestrina and Mazzocchi. Time to do it once again with the ensemble of voices and viols of Accademia del Piacere.

With the support of:

Origin, The sheed of times is the coproduction between Accademia del Piacere, Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía & Teatro de la Maestranza. May 18^th 2025 will be the PREMIERE of this spectacle that has the strength that comes from the union between two Spanish titans of Early Music & Flamenco. It is a rhapsody in seven acts with the direction and choreography of Patricia Guerrero and the musical direction of Fahmi Alqhai. Absolute premiere at the Teatro de la Maestranza.

Guerrero and Alqhai, accompanied by the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet and the Accademia del Piacere, will dialogue looking for the common roots of the past and the present through the best Early Music and Flamenco dances, a universal way of brotherhood of peoples and cultures. Two styles that embrace and merge. A common path between flamenco and the historical tradition of Spanish music.
