ABOUT NOCHE FLAMENCA Under the direction of Martín Santangelo, the award-winning Noche Flamenca has become Spain’s most successful touring company. Formed in 1993 by Santangelo and his Bessie award-winning wife, Soledad Barrio, the company regularly tours throughout the globe. Performance highlights around the globe include regular seasons in New York City and performances in, Europe, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Egypt, North America, Australia, and Canada. Hailed by critics everywhere for its transcendent and deeply emotional performances, Noche Flamenca is recognized as the most authentic flamenco touring company in the field today. Santangelo has successfully brought to the stage the essence, purity, and integrity of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms without the use of tricks or gimmicks. All aspects of flamenco—dance, song, and music—are interrelated and given equal weight in the presentations of Noche Flamenca, creating a true communal spirit within the company: the very heart and soul of flamenco. In support of its mission to educate and enlighten audiences about flamenco, the company offers extensive residency programs that reach out to people of all ages. With company members based in Spain, Noche Flamenca is a registered US not-for-profit with its office and representation based in New York City. Noche Flamenca’s artistic integrity has been recognized with awards from the National Dance Project (2006 & 2009), the National Endowment for the Arts (annually since 2007), and the Lucille Lortel Award for Special Theatrical Experience (2003), among others.
