A real flamenca, this gypsy woman! And God how she sings and dances!

— Ángel Álvarez Caballero in El Pais

El Amor Brujo originated as a 35-minute gypsy entertainment supported by a small pit orchestra. Today, we know this work only through its popular orchestral suite, including the torrid Ritual Fire Dance. PostClassical Ensemble’s new production restores to Amor Brujo its narrative, dance, and flamenco song components.

What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale explores this timeless question in the guise of a folk tale. In this new production, modern technology and traditional theater craft collide in a narrative that cuts to the core of mankind’s innocent desire to have it all: health, wealth, and companionship.
