“We have prepared this Opera tour on the Orihuela Costa, so that all the residents of the coast and those who visit us during these summer weeks can enjoy the best music in the open air and in an enviable setting,”explained Mar Ezcurra, who pointed out that all activities are free until capacity is reached and that all sanitary protection measures will be carried out.
“It is one of the first activities organised by the Culture Department this summer on the Orihuela Costa but we are already working on several more performances that we will announce in the coming days,” she added.
