 Jose Porcel and Ballet Flamenco will take the stage at the Singletary Center for the Arts on Wednesday, November 12th at 7:30pm, in Lexington, KY.A flamenco performance gives the spectator an overwhelming sensation of happiness, a joyful and sensual mood that no other form of dance is capable of evoking. Because flamenco is an explosion of rhythms, colors, and emotions that contains all of the vitality, sunniness, and passion of the Spanish people, it is a folkloric celebration where, even when “theatre art” is being provided, irresistible erotic appeal and irrepressible energy remain intact. Jose Porcel was born in Sevilla, and at the age of thirteen began dancing Andalucian folkloric dances and flamenco in cultural centers in Valencia. He has danced with such troupes as Ballet de Valencia, Ballet Nacional, and Compañia Española. In 2000 he danced as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, under the direction of maestro Héctor Zaraspe. That same year he performed around the world and at the Ópera de París for over 20 sold-out performances, followed by a critically acclaimed tour of the United States. The Compañia Flamenco Jose Porcel was founded in Madrid, Spain and is among the premier dance troupes that exhibits the exciting dance form of Flamenco. The Company brings this tradition to life vibrantly and colorfully with live musicians, vocalists and of course, dancers. Tickets for this event are based on seating location and range from $25 to $32. Tickets can be purchased through the Singletary Center Ticket Office at 859.257.4929, via the web at www.singletarytickets.com or in person at the Ticket Office. |
