Despite the rise in Covid-19 infections, the University of Guadalajara’s Conjunto de Artes Escenicas is pushing forward with a relatively ambitious program of live cultural events over the coming weeks and months.
For a generation of artists probably at the apex of their careers between 1967 and 1977, Jalisco was a good place to be, if a current exhibition at Instituto Cultural Cabañas is any indication.
Lourdes Ariadna González Pérez, Jalisco’s newly appointed secretary of culture, assumed office on June 16.
As expected, the first program of the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra’s summer season sold out quickly, largely because of the reduced number of tickets on sale due to Covid restrictions.
In a long-awaited announcement appropriately trumpeted by a publicity image of a French horn and two bluebirds of happiness, the Jalisco Symphony Orchestra has announced a five-program season in June and July in its home, the acoustically excellent Teatro Degollado in the center of Guadalajara.
The newly formed Metropolitan Ballet of Guadalajara will present two performances at a gala featuring 40 dancers, scheduled Saturday, July 3, 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Teatro “Ignacio López Tarso” in Guadalajara.
Covid permitting, by the end of this year art enthusiasts will be able to visit the house/studio in Mexico City’s Roma district where renowned British surrealist artist Leonora Carrington lived and worked for 65 years until her death in 2011.
