The umbrella of the Arriaga will offer a journey guided by a hundred voices

The discovery of an umbrella by Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga will give way to a poetic and dream musical show for children and families, which will be premiered on 17 October by the Teatro Rriaga and the Bilbao Coral Society.

It has the stage direction of Ane Pikaza and the musical direction of Aitor Biain, as well as the collaboration of José Luis Ormazabal to lead the choirs, and in it a hundred voices of the Bilbao Coral Society will give voice to a string of ten musicians who will perform a set of wind, percussion and electronics composed by Nerea Alberdi and Aitor Etxebarria.

In addition, the script written by Leire Bilbao will be embodied by three actors, Loli Astoreka, Leire Ucha and Itziar Manero.

The Arriaga Theatre will offer two performances for the premiere of this co-production: on Saturday, 17 October, at 6 p.m., and on Sunday, 18 October, at 12 noon.

As explained from the theatre, the musical proposes a journey through memory, through the stages of time and life, always in the rain of Bilbao. The story follows a character who travels through childhood, youth, adulthood and old age, while music and memories allow him to travel between time and emotion.

Tickets are on sale for between 11 and 21 euros.
