Requiem for Manuel de Falla, the Tribute that Closes the 150th Anniversary at the Gran Teatro Falla

Requiem for Manuel de Falla, the Tribute that Closes the 150th Anniversary at the Gran Teatro Falla

🎼 On 14 November 2026, the Gran Teatro Falla will host one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year: the Requiem for Manuel de Falla. A unique show commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of the most universal composer from Cádiz and which also coincides with the anniversary of his death. An essential date for lovers of music and culture who want to bid farewell to the Falla year in style.

The Requiem for Manuel de Falla brings together on stage the Cádiz-born singer David Palomar, along with the Orchestra and Choir of the University of Cádiz. A proposal that fuses symphonic music with the deepest flamenco, in a unique dialogue between two worlds that the composer knew how to unite like no one else throughout his career.

At The Sun Places we want you to experience this first-class cultural event from within. That's why we invite you to discover the details of this Requiem for Manuel de Falla, staying in our Luxury Accommodation in Cádiz, located in the heart of the capital, near the Gran Teatro Falla, the Cathedral of Cádiz and the Barrio del Pópulo.

✨ The Requiem for Manuel de Falla is presented as a tribute to the life and work of the musician, using the requiem genre as a common thread. It is not just a concert; it is an experience that connects the solemnity of classical music with the expressive force of Cádiz flamenco.

📅 Date, Time and Tickets for the Requiem for Manuel de Falla

The event will be held on Saturday 14 November 2026 at 20:00 at the Gran Teatro Falla in Cádiz. The ticket price is 12 euros, a very affordable cost for a show of this magnitude.

Tickets can be purchased at the box office of the Gran Teatro Falla, whose opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10:30 to 13:30 and from 17:30 to 20:00 (not on public holidays). Given the relevance of the event and the theatre's limited capacity, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance. If you wish, we can do it for you. 

14 November is not a date chosen at random. That day commemorates the anniversary of the composer's death, which occurred in 1946 in Alta Gracia, Argentina. The coincidence makes this tribute a particularly moving and significant event.

🎶 David Palomar and the Orchestra and Choir of the UCA: A Fusion of Worlds

The show features the Cádiz-born singer David Palomar, one of the most recognised voices in current flamenco and a deep connoisseur of the musician's work. Palomar has already collaborated on previous occasions with the Choir of the University of Cádiz on projects that fuse flamenco with classical music, always with absolute respect for both traditions.

On this occasion, Palomar will be accompanied by the Orchestra and Choir of the University of Cádiz, under the direction of Juan Manuel Pérez Madueño. The UCA Choir has extensive experience in the performance of large-format works and has actively participated in the commemoration of the Falla Year throughout 2026.

The artistic proposal seeks to create a dialogue between the deepest flamenco (soleá, seguiriya, martinete) and symphonic music, using the requiem as a conceptual structure. A sound experience that transcends genres and can only be experienced on a stage as emblematic as the Gran Teatro Falla.

🎼 The Falla Year 2026: A Legacy that Transcends Borders

This Requiem for Falla is part of the official programme of the Falla Year 2026, a commemoration celebrating the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth and the 80th anniversary of his death. The event has been promoted by the Manuel de Falla Archive Foundation, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the Regional Government of Andalusia, the Granada City Council and the University of Granada, among other institutions.

Manuel de Falla was born in Cádiz on 23 November 1876 and is considered the most important and universal Spanish composer of the 20th century. His work, spanning from the opera 'La vida breve' to the ballet 'El sombrero de tres picos' or the stage cantata 'Atlántida', represents a unique synthesis between Spanish musical tradition and the European avant-garde.

Throughout 2026, more than fifty activities have paid tribute to his figure throughout Spain: concerts, exhibitions, international congresses, publications and educational projects. This Requiem at the Teatro Falla is one of the most outstanding milestones of this programme in the city where he was born.

💬 CEO's Word: A Tribute Worthy of the Composer

At The Sun Places we follow the Falla Year programme with admiration and this Requiem for Manuel de Falla seems to us an exceptional proposal. The fusion of David Palomar's flamenco with the symphonic music of the UCA Orchestra and Choir, on the stage of the Gran Teatro Falla, is a unique opportunity to experience Cádiz culture at its finest. It is an experience that connects with the identity of a city that was the cradle of the most universal composer. I encourage you to discover it.
