Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca

Celebrated for transcendent and deeply emotional performances, Noche Flamenca is recognized as the most authentic flamenco company touring today.

All aspects of flamenco –dance, song, and music– are given equal weight in live performances that evoke the vivid and expansive sea of passion and emotion that is flamenco. They return to The Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall for the third time in eight seasons.

Formed in 1993 by Martín Santangelo and his Bessie award-winning wife, Soledad Barrio, Noche Flamenca regularly tours around the globe. Performance highlights include regular seasons in New York City and Buenos Aires, performances in Greece and Egypt, annual tours throughout North America, and the company’s 2002 and 2009 tours to Australia.

Hailed by critics everywhere for its transcendent and deeply emotional performances, Noche Flamenca is recognized as the most authentic flamenco touring company in the field today. Santangelo has successfully brought to the stage the essence, purity, and integrity of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms without the use of tricks or gimmicks.

In support of its mission to educate and enlighten audiences about flamenco, the company offers extensive residency programs that reach out to people of all ages. Noche Flamenca is registered as a U.S. not-for-profit with its office and representation based in New York City. Noche Flamenca’s artistic integrity has been recognized with awards from the National Dance Project (2006), the National Endowment for the Arts (2007 & 2008), and the Lucille Lortel Award for Special Theatrical Experience (2003), among others.
