Sergei Prokofiev: Cinderella (selection)
From piano prodigy to one of Europe’s greatest composers, Prokofiev led an extraordinary life. He married Spanish soprano Lina Codina—whose charisma inspired Coco Chanel's iconic No. 5 perfume—and composed brilliant works such as The Love for Three Oranges and Peter and the Wolf, all while living adventures worthy of a spy film, full of intrigue and even a love triangle. Cinderella premiered in 1945 and was one of the few joyful stories to emerge from that difficult year. In this magical work, Prokofiev tells the story of the dreamlike love between Cinderella and the Prince through music: from their first encounter to the obstacles they face, ending with the heartwarming happy ending. With Lorena Conde’s imaginative dramaturgy, the Real Filharmonía de Galicia brings this beloved fairy tale to life in a playful, family-friendly performance—perfect for enjoying together during the holidays or as a Three Kings’ Day surprise for the little ones.

ESTIMATED DATES, CALCULATED BASED ON THE PREVIOUS EDITION.
The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
A full day of tradition and celebration in Conxo: historical Entroido exhibitions, parades, vermouth session, communal lunch, atranques, ear and pancake contests, folk music session, hat costume parade, and the traditional burning of the Meco. Evening entertainment includes live music and karaoke.
After some time in silence, Raíñas is back — more local, more ours, and entering a new stage full of changes. A night to celebrate drag, the scene, and the desire to keep creating together. If you have been before, you already know what it means; if not, this is your sign. This edition will be hosted by Syndra, guiding the night through fantasy and glamour, joined by Yasmine Lutar and Moira Lutar, drag sisters with different energies but the same lineage. Completing the lineup is Liteah, all attitude and power on stage.
Save the dates February 27 and 28 for the big Sar Entroido, full of music, color, and celebration in the neighborhood. On Saturday the 27th, performance by París de Noia, and on Sunday the 28th, parade of the Xenerais da Ulla. Don’t miss it!
A religious and gastronomic festival. One of the most unique and oldest festivities in Galicia.
