Intrigue and music in a fast-moving show at the Teatro Guerra in Lorca

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - October 6 Maestrissimo (Paganini 2) at the Teatro Guerra in Lorca Maestrissimo (Paganini 2) is a lively and fast-moving blend of various theatrical and musical genres, including chamber music, comedy, satire and period costume as it portrays the adventures of a string quartet sometime in the 17^th or 18^th century, a period which encompassed the Baroque and Neo-classical ages.

The main character is a musician whose ambition is to become a “maestríssimo”, his undoubted talent hindered by his lack of influence in the cultural hierarchy of the day.

The show at the Teatro Guerra in Lorca begins at 21.00 with tickets priced at 8, 12 and 15 euros. Online bookings can be made here, or alternatively the Teatro Guerra box office opens on weekday mornings from 11.00 to 14.00 and on Monday to Thursday afternoons from 18.00 to 20.00, as well as an hour before shows.

Information by phone on 968 473122 (9.00 to 14.00 and 18.00 to 20.00).
