About this plan

The Grand Gala for the 50th anniversary of Colombian Opera is one of the must-see plans in Bogota for anyone who loves classical music and lyrical singing. The concert walks through the most celebrated pages of the opera repertoire, from Mozart and Puccini to Verdi and Bizet, all in one night full of voices and orchestration.

The evening brings together the Youth Philharmonic Orchestra of the Bogota Philharmonic and the Choir of Colombian Opera, under the baton of Luis Fernando Madrid. Winners of the Ciudad Lírica Singing Prize also take part, a group of young talents who add a fresh touch to a historic repertoire.

It is a great pick if you want to see opera in Bogota without sitting through a full production. In a few hours you travel through works like Carmen, La traviata, Tosca, and The Magic Flute, with the moments the audience always cheers for.

What to expect

  • Classic excerpts from Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, and Bizet
  • Youth Philharmonic Orchestra of Bogota on stage

  • Young winners of the Ciudad Lírica Prize
  • Musical direction by Luis Fernando Madrid

Who it's for
