Algarabía at Abu Dhabi Festival

A breathtaking celebration of culture, rhythm, and storytelling awaits at Abu Dhabi Festival 2026 with Algarabía — a poetic fusion of flamenco and Arab artistic traditions at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. 🌟

Performed by the Orquesta Sinfónica Universidad de Navarra alongside dancers and actors, this groundbreaking production unites music, poetry, and movement in a vibrant theatrical experience. 🎭🎻

Algarabía tells the story of an Arab girl on a journey of discovery as she studies the ancient botanical theory of flowers. Her intellectual curiosity contrasts beautifully with the instinctive passion of a Spanish florist who cherishes flowers for their scent and colour. 🌸✨ Through flamenco rhythms, Arab poetry, and expressive choreography, the performance becomes a powerful dialogue between cultures.

Under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor Borja Quintas, and featuring celebrated flamenco dancer Jesús Carmona, alongside an outstanding creative team, the production promises emotional intensity and artistic brilliance. 🎼🔥

Audiences will experience a rich tapestry of sound and movement — where Spanish and Arab traditions intertwine in harmony, passion, and poetic beauty. 🌍🤍
