PHOTO SPREAD: International Mariachi Festival

Thousands of Tapatios and visitors lined Guadalajara’s principal avenues for last Sunday’s International Mariachi Festival opening parade. Groups of musicians, dancers and charros of all ages came from far and wide to participate in the fiesta.

The emotional mariachi galas at the Degollado Theater kicked off with a special concert featuring Mexico’s most acclaimed tenor, the great Ramon Vargas.

Arts and crafts, including sombrero painting, went on in the festival’s pavilion set up in the city center.

Opera returns to Degollado in November

Opera is back with a bang at the Degollado Theater in Guadalajara come November, wedged amid the fall/winter season of the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra (JPO).
Three works are scheduled, the highlight undoubtably three performances of “Carmen,” the  four-act masterpiece with music by Georges Bizet and libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the novella by Prosper Mérimée.
