Whether you’re looking for a unique Albuquerque event, a romantic evening out, or a memorable experience for the entire family — this event is for you! Vienna Light Orchestra’s awe-inspiring performance is a positive interruption from the noise of the world — elevating audiences into an atmosphere of inspirational, motivational music.

Although Madama Butterfly is best known for its exquisite arias for sopranos, the long, wondrously varied love duet that ends Act I is considered his greatest by many Puccini fans. The gorgeous melodies are tinged with foreboding, as Butterfly fears her happiness is so great that she may die of it.

Of her 2019 role debut as Nedda in Pagliacci with Opera Roanoke, the Roanoke Times praised her “nuanced portrait of an unhappy woman” and “her high notes [which] rang out with ease at the swelling climaxes in both her first act aria and in her love duet with Silvio.”

Cervantes Film Series: Volavérunt

12:00 pm MST (available for 96 hours)
All the films can be seen in the link below:

Instituto Cervantes Film Series Celebrating Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, winner of the 2025 Honorary Goya Award from the Spanish Film Academy
This blockbuster, Volavérunt, directed by Bigas Luna with an international cast and crew, stars Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, who plays the Duchess of Alba. Doña Cayetana was a key woman in the court of King Carlos IV with a personality based on intrigue, passion, and desire.
The film’s title evokes an ambiguity that can be traced back to Goya’s Caprichos engraving no. 61, which shares the title of this film. The film’s grandious photography and costumes bring the lavish world of the late 18th century to life.
Synopsis: One morning in the summer of 1802, Cayetana, the Duchess of Alba, is found dead. A few hours before, at the inauguration party at her palace, many of her admirers and detractors were present: Goya, Godoy, Prince Ferdinand, Pepita Tudó and Pignatelli, among them. Although it is admitted as official version that the beautiful duchess died of natural causes, later confessions and revealed secrets invite to think that Cayetana could have been poisoned. [Source: Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) database].
Screening: Volavérunt | Director: Bigas Luna | Year: 1999 | Format: Digital | Running time: Largometraje – 118 min | Genre: Fiction/Ficción | Country: France and Spain | Original version: Spahish/español | Subtitles: English/inglés, French/francés, Italian/italiano, Portuguese/portugués de Brasil y español | Rated PG13/Calificacion: 13+

The annual programming on the Cervantes Institute’s Vimeo channel begins with a cycle dedicated to actress Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, who will receive the Goya Honorary Award 2025 on February 8 in Granada.
As expressed by the president of the Film Academy, Fernando Méndez-Leite, she is “an actress much loved and respected by her peers and recognized by the public and critics since her beginnings. A complete actress: serious, responsible, competent, approachable and who knows how to give truth, sincerity and depth to all her work”.
The titles in the series have been selected by the artist herself: in addition to Volavérunt, a film by Bigas Luna for which she was awarded Best Actress at the San Sebastian Festival, her proposal includes essential films from the end of the 20th century directed by outstanding directors of Spanish cinema, such as Vicente Aranda, Bigas Luna, Jaime Chávarri and Fernando Colomo.

Instituto Cervantes Film Series Celebrating Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, winner of the 2025 Honorary Goya Award from the Spanish Film Academy
After many years of trying to make the film Celos, the great Spanish filmmaker Vicente Aranda delves into the complicated territory of jealousy to narrate an agonizing and fatal story. This production incorporates the director’s obsessions with the limits of love and sexual desire, between which there is always violence.
Aitana Sánchez-Gijón’s interpretation of the main character displays a range of sophisticated nuances that contribute to the development of a narrative arc full of surprises.
Synopsis: Antonio and Carmen are happy and about to get married. On the eve of the wedding, Antonio finds an old photograph of his future wife with another man. From that moment on, jealousy assaults Antonio and begins to transform his character and behavior. To save their relationship, Carmen must confront her murky past.

Opera Southwest presents Adam Del Monte’s Llantos 1492, in partnership with the National Institute of Flamenco
“Oh, times of light, how they have fallen through the narrow passage of the hourglass into an ashtray of darkness.”
The Reconquista is drawing to a close and the Inquisition’s dark cloud is gathering on the Spanish horizon. A lawyer defends a village of gitanos against false accusations. Against a musical backdrop that blends the musical traditions of flamenco and opera, the story unfolds: a rigged trial, mystical experiences, a love story, exile and execution. This is an opera about resilience and the ultimate triumph of identity, both religious and ethnic, in a time of intolerance.
Running time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one intermission
$29, $49, $69, $89 & $109 with discounts for groups of 8 or more, anyone 30 years old and younger and Opera for All with a WIC or EBT card.

Instituto Cervantes Film Series Celebrating Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, winner of the 2025 Honorary Goya Award from the Spanish Film Academy
With the soul of a late-night tango in this film, Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando, the songs and the emotion of the world revolve around the music that dominated leisure in the early 20th century: tango. The film is in conversation with another classic from director Jaime Chávarri, best known for his series Las cosas del querer.
Synopsis: In 1930s Buenos Aires, a Spanish immigrant meets a tango singer, considered the best Gardel imitator. Juanita tries to make Renzo look more and more like her idol, until one day the tango singer is given a delicate mission: to imitate the real Gardel. [Source: Flixolé].

The titles in the series have been selected by the artist herself: in addition to Volavérunt, a film by Bigas Luna for which she was awarded Best Actress at the San Sebastian Festival, her proposal includes essential films from the end of the 20th century directed by outstanding directors of Spanish cinema, such as Vicente Aranda, Bigas Luna, Jaime Chávarri and Fernando Colomo.

Instituto Cervantes Film Series Celebrating Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Honorary Goya
When Fernando Colomo undertook this adaptation of a play by the same name, Bajarse al moro, he was already a key director of the cinematic milestone that was called “la comedia madrileña” (The Madrid Comedy) and that featured the auteur cinema of the eighties.
This film departs from the festive tone that guided his previous titles to get much closer to his characters and present a world where other variables such as class or the future reveal a less playful environment. Aitana Sánchez-Gijón’s character makes a place for herself among her three co-stars who are already part of the canon of our best performers.
Synopsis: Chusa shares an apartment with her cousin, a drug dealer, and her boyfriend, a policeman. To help her cousin, Chusa sometimes smuggles weed from Morocco. Since everyone smokes a little, there is always a need for more. Chusa then decides to go to Morocco with a friend, but this time things don’t go as she thought. [Source: Lola Films]

2018 was a landmark year for women directors and screenwriters working in the film industry. An example of this is this magnificent debut by Claudia Barral: a search in experimental format of human memory in the inhabited and loved spaces and the imprint we leave on them. Sensations and memories that we rarely name out loud.
Synopsis: Places explores the limits of time and its passage. The short film captures the journey to different instants, always from the same place, expanding the possibilities of ellipsis and giving rise to an artistic universe that will always use the same coordinates.

In April, the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel will be filled with a selection of short films that focus on the concept of taboo from different perspectives, but always with a thoughtful and considered, rather than critical, look to place viewers in the realm of reflection.

NHCC | Wells Fargo Auditorium
The NHCC and our friends and partners at the Vortex Theatre invite you to experience a captivating original play adapted from Margarita Engle’s award-winning young adult novel in verse, Lion Island: Cuba’s Warrior of Words.
Set in 1870s Cuba, this powerful story delves into the complexities of racial, ethnic, linguistic, and national identities. Through dynamic elements of dance, puppetry, and music, the play explores the historical forces—diaspora, colonialism, immigration, and the transatlantic slave trade—that have shaped Hispanic/Latine identity.
Local playwright Patricia Crespín brings the story to life, centering the historical figure Antonio Chuffat, a young man of Chinese, African, and Cuban descent. Working as a messenger in Cuban fields and navigating a tense colonial world, Antonio discovers the power of words to advocate for the rights and dignity of laborers in his community.
Join us for this intergenerational production that invites audiences to reflect on identity, resilience, and the enduring struggle for justice and belonging.
$26 w/ $2 off for children 10 years old and younger, seniors and NHCC members.

Eulalia Ramón, a renowned Spanish actress, presents her first work as a director, produced by her daughter Anna Saura. This is a very black comedy that places a serial killer at the center of a narrative with social undertones that breaks the fourth wall and invites us to ask ourselves about our own taboos.
Synopsis: Monica is a normal woman with a normal life in a normal place in any of these modern times. However, one day, because of an unimportant detail that could have been solved as any other previous disagreement, she kills her husband. Thus she discovers crime as a substitute for anxiolytics, the liberation from all moralism. [Source: Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) database].

Álvaro G. Company and Meka Ribera humorously present us with a moral dilemma in which parents confront their love for their daughter and the novel options of bioethics. It is one of the most transgressive works that have come to the festival La Mirada Tabú, not only because of its subject matter, but also because it gives voice to thoughts that many parents have had at some point and would never confess.
Synopsis: When they are born they are beautiful, almost perfect. But they grow up so fast… I wish there was a way to enjoy that unrepeatable age forever. Petit Toujour combines the latest advances in gene therapy and selective hormone blockade to extend your time with the most beautiful thing you have in the world, your baby. [Source: Line up].
