Her career includes performances at prestigious venues such as the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Through her work, Ángeles Gabaldón integrates technical precision with expressive depth, offering performances that reflect both the heritage and evolving nature of flamenco.

It is deemed Spain’s major institution for the musical and performing arts, and is the leading national opera house, with significant and growing global outreach.
