After many years since they coincided at the Berlin Opera, two of the most international voices of Spanish opera meet again in a beautiful recital with the Zamoran baritone Luis Santana and the pianist Javier Carmena. Ainhoa Arteta and Montserrat Martí Caballé offer us in “Two divas and a baritone” a wonderful program with fragments of opera and zarzuela of various composers; three of them taken from Verdi's La Traviata and works by Donizetti, Rossini, Mozart, Obradors, Falla, Penella, Giménez, Serrano and Torroba.

The reunion between both artists will take place in January 2023 at the Festival Internacional de Música Clásica Jesús López Cobos by Santana, where the public attending the concert will be able to enjoy not only privileged voices, but also duets that “will touch our soul and the deepest part of our being”.


Ainhoa Arteta is one of the most renowned sopranos in the world. She has sung in the best theaters in the world, however, her Spanish DNA has never left her. This is reflected in her voice, full of emotion and intensity. Ainhoa has not only achieved technical excellence, but has achieved something even more complicated: to touch the soul of the spectator in each song.

When she was only 5 years old, Ainhoa heard Maria Callas singing and, since then, she has been in love with opera. Her first steps in singing were in her father's Eresoinka Choir and at the age of 12 she entered the San Sebastian Conservatory. At the age of 18 she moved to Italy, where she received lessons from Ettore Campogalliani, teacher of Pavarotti and Freni. Years later, he moved to New York, where he continued his acting training at the Actor's Studio. Throughout her career Ainhoa has had valuable influences from some important teachers and mentors, especially highlighting the teacher Ruth Falcón, who was a reference for her during all these years. Currently, Ainhoa is still in constant training.

This generation of Spanish women and men poets arose on the occasion of the third centenary tribute to the poet of the Golden Century, Luis de Góngora, in May 1927, organized by the physician and poet José María Romero for the Seville Athenaeum.

We wanted to make a review of the most representative of this generation of the Spanish cultural rebirth.

Women, the most forgotten ..... had to use male pseudonyms to publish their works. In this recital women have an important place, those women of the 27 called “Las Sinsombrero” was a term coined to name the Spanish artists born between 1898 and 1911 in different disciplines such as literature, poetry, painting, music, cinema or philosophy.

Many of these authors, when the civil war broke out, ended up in exile and continued their production outside Spain.

I think it is a fair tribute in this recital to these wonderful poets.

With countless and unforgettable works in theater, film and television, he is one of the actors best regarded by the profession, critics and the public.

On stage he has performed more than twenty plays. His previous stagings have been, “Ser o no ser” by Ernst Lubitsch where he was also director (Valladolid Theater Award for Best Male Performance in 2022-2023), “La Fiesta del Chivo”, adaptation of Nobel Mario Vargas Llosa, “Rojo” by John Logan (nominated for Best Actor in Theater at the Fotogramas de Plata Awards 2018); “Sueños”, free version of “Los sueños” by F. de Quevedo directed by Gerardo Vera (Ercilla Award for Best Performance).

Yo voy soñando caminos is the title of this beautiful recital where María Galiana interprets texts of the authors who have most marked her life as Antonio Machado, Jorge Manrique, Amado Nervo, Santa Teresa de Jesús, Benedetti or León Felipe accompanied on piano by José María Berdejo and alternating with the wonderful voice of Luis Santana.

This project is the culmination of a personal desire to interpret a selection of texts that do not have a common denominator, however they highlight the manifestation of shared feelings between the authors and the interpreter, coincidences that exist due to the emotional involvement of María Galiana with the show.
