Information
The Teatro Real will host the seventh edition of the Universal Music Festival from 25 to 30 July 2023, once more bringing together performances by leading Spanish and international artists throughout the summer in a programme which covers all musical styles. This latest edition will include the participation of artists like Rufus Wainwright, Gilberto Gil or Gloria Trevi.
The festival will kick off on Tuesday 25 July with the performance of one of the festival’s most popular artists, Rufus Wainwright. His opera, Hadrian formed part of the 2022 edition and he is back this year to perform his latest project in which he will be accompanied by a folklore sextet.
On 28 July, it is the turn of the flamenco singer from Toledo Israel Fernández, one of the most important figures of today’s flamenco genre, who will present the songs that form part of his much awaited new album, Pura sangre.
The festival will also count on the presence of Kraftwerk, the pioneering German electronic music group with more than fifty years of history. On this occasion, they are bringing their 3D Concerts, in which music and the performing arts come together to offer a unique show.
On 28 July, it is the turn of the Mexican artist Gloria Trevi, known as the “Mexican Madonna”, and she has a career spanning more than thirty years under her belt. Her great charisma and songs characterised by passion and self-love will come together in a concert that will leave nobody feeling indifferent.
The Brazilian singer, guitarist and composer Gilberto Gil, one of the most important living Brazilian artists of all times, will also be performing. He will be on stage as part of his latest tour in which he celebrates his career spanning sixty years, accompanied by his family, who will be on stage with him singing and playing instruments.
The programme is rounded off with the presence of the singer and dancer Lola Indigo, who will bring her multi-colour pop style and urban rhythms in an intimate concert designed especially for the Universal Music Festival.
