The Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo in Bogotá, Colombia, is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a spectacular 2025 season. The lineup features 15 stellar performances showcasing world-class artistry and diversity.
The season kicks off with a vibrant showcase of Argentine dance, "De Piazzolla a Ravel," by the Ballet del Teatro San Martín de Buenos Aires, directed by Andrea Chinetti and Diego Poblete, from January 24-26. This is followed by a performance by the renowned Polish tenor Piotr Beczala, who will take the stage on January 31 with the Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra under Joachim Gustafsson, featuring arias from Verdi, Puccini, and Mascagni.
In February, the Scottish Dance Theatre will present "The Flock" and "Moving Cloud," while the Manuel Liñán Company will bring its flamenco spectacle "Muerta de Amor" to the stage in June. The season will also feature a co-production of Monteverdi's "L'incoronazione di Poppea" with La Poème Harmonique and the Teatro Mayor's resident Compañía Estable, directed by Vincent Dumestre and Pedro Salazar, in May.
Opera enthusiasts will be treated to a grand collaboration of Verdi's "Nabucco" involving the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia and the National Choir of Colombia in September, while the International Sacred Music Festival in October will showcase Purcell's "The Fairy Queen" performed by Les Arts Florissants and Compagnie Käfig from France.
The concert season will also shine brightly, with the Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra joining forces with salsa powerhouse La Mambanegra for Bogotá's birthday celebrations in August, and the Maisky Trio performing with the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia in October. The Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin will also grace the stage for two unforgettable evenings in November.
Theater and circus enthusiasts won't be left behind, with a poignant portrayal of the Kogui people of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta by Colombian company Teatro CENIT in March, and a high-flying acrobatic performance by the Canadian troupe Machine de Cirque as part of the season celebration.
The 28th Festival de Música del Pacífico Petronio Álvarez will launch its season in July, showcasing Afro-Colombian traditions. To make the season more accessible, Teatro Mayor is offering discounts of up to 20% for tickets purchased by January 31.
