In 1978, the Theatre and Entertainment General Direction of the Spanish Ministry of Culture formed BALLET NACIONAL DE ESPAÑA, of which Antonio Gades was appointed Artistic Director. From that moment, Gades’ goal was to revive the most representative pieces of Spanish choreographers. In 1998 the Ministry of Education and Culture appointed the ballerina Aida Gómez as Artistic Director of the Ballet Nacional de España. Present and former members of the company join Miguel Harth-Bedoya this summer in an evening of Spanish dance and song.
