The Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra has registered a complete sell-out in the two concerts it offered this week at the Cervantes Theatre in Malaga, as part of the artistic exchange with the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra. More than 2,000 people attended the performances on Thursday and Friday, the institution reported in a statement.

An event. Simón Orfila was Scarpia, following in the footsteps of Joan Pons. It's not a dispute. There's no competition, although operatic comparisons are a constant, as common as they are lacking in rigor. What happened this time is simply a fine tribute to his fellow countryman, undoubtedly one of the best Scarpias in history. Therefore, a day to remember and write down in bold: Tosca inaugurates the 40th Opera Season at the Teatro Principal, and Simón Orfila made his debut as Scarpia. The rest is pure anecdote, of course, with many other elements worthy of mention. Yolanda Auyanet's Floria Tosca displayed a high and clear register, breath and color, with which her interpretation of the famous Art Visa, A marginal note at the request of Maria Jeritza, can only be described as remarkable. An aria, transformed into a pivotal moment of the greatest, which arises just before the story's climax, with the death of the perfidious, in addition to all the derogatory adjectives one might want to add, Baro Scarpia. He is the great character of the story that Victorien Sardou wrote for Sarah Bernhardt and of whom Orfila has given a more elegant reading than usual, but no less efficient. Rame Lahaj, for his part, was dramatically an adequate Caravadossi, with a robust voice but a limited projection, even strange.
