TICKETS + INFORMATION

Mezzo Isabel Leonard’s recital with ace Spanish guitarist Pablo Sainz-Villegas might seem a little mainstream for this List, but actually it’s just the kind of blending of classical and pop/vernacular that we advocate here. So you get some opera arias and Albèñez and Tárrega, but you also get Falla and Lorca (yes, he wrote songs, too!) channelling Spanish popular forms, and some Tango and bittersweet old Mexican pop. Should be a fairly enchanting evening, actually.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: The closest thing to Spanish anywhere near theree is the Pan-Mediterranean Boulud Sud.
