Monaco Dance Forum: Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo “LA EDAD DE ORO”

As part of the Monaco Dance Forum Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo present “LA EDAD DE ORO” on Thursday 12 December 2024, at 7.30 pm in Théâtre des Variétés.

With flamenco, as with every art form, historians, specialists, and critics gradually identified particular periods. The period they called “La Edad de Oro”, the golden age of flamenco, ran from the late 19th century to the 1930s. It was a time when the emphasis was very much on singing and dancing, with the guitar becoming popular much later. According to this tradition, and aside from some special exceptions, no contemporary singer or dancer could hope to match the quality, purity, and creativity of those who bore flamenco to its very pinnacle, and forged the legend of the golden age.
