The 33 Festival Internacional de Música y Danza Ciudad de Úbeda welcomes on 26 June (2o:30) the grande dame of the theatre, Núria Espert, together with the prestigious ensemble La Tempestad, led by the renowned violinist Pablo Suárez Calero, to offer the public Las cuatro estaciones, by Antonio Vivaldi, in an exquisite symbiosis of music and words. The concert for solo instrument and orchestra, which will take place at the Auditorio Hospital de Santiago, is under the direction of the harpsichordist Silvia Márquez. The flautist Guillermo Peñalver joins as soloist in Vivaldi's flute concertos Il Gardellino and La Notte, which complement Las cuatro estaciones.

The description of nature becomes a pretext for taking the listener from one emotional extreme to another on a journey into the 18th century, revealing the supreme expression of the union of music and words, the foundation of baroque art. With her powerful voice, the eminent actress Núria Espert, recipient of the Premio Princesa de Asturias de las Artes 2016, will unfold the texts on which each of the four most famous concertos in the history of music is based: sonnets taken from those that precede each of the seasons in Michael-Charles Le Cène's edition of II Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione, Op.8 (Amsterdam, 1723 - 1725). Espert herself has made the Spanish adaptation of the original Italian texts, which she will recite supported by the musical performance of La Tempestad with Pablo Suárez Calero, on violin, and Guillermo Peñalver, on flute.

Il Gardellino and La Notte will complement Las cuatro estaciones, an explosion of nature and virtuosity in the purest baroque style in a unique experience with Núria Espert as travel guide through Vivaldi's celebrated work.
