800 liters of water, two sails, thirty pulleys, sixty hammocks: for the Bicentenary of the Teatro Real of Madrid, Deborah Warner coined a colossal production of Benjamin Britten's Billy Budd.

Billy Budd

Zarzuela based on the play with the same name by Miguel Mihura. European premiere.  Broadcast live from El Teatro de la Zarzuela on November 27, 2019.

Three Top Hats

Considered the greatest musical success of Pablo Luna's career, this operetta was released at the end of 1923 in El Teatro de la Zarzuela. Many consider it the best of his compositions, bolstered by an inspired and amusing libretto. After its premiere, it went on to be produced in Cuba, Mexico and continued its life cycle on stage until the 1950s.

The production by Calixto Bieito extracts all the potential from this work in a most convincing and spine-chilling way. The action takes place in a closed society of the 1950s, taking this story of witchcraft, sex and religion to the realism of imitation leather sofas, crochet cardigans, medical abuse and child molestation.
