L’Atlàntida is Manuel de Falla’s monumental cantata based on Jacint Verdaguer's poem, which will be revived at L’Auditori in Barcelona in November 2026. This ambitious production will bring together the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España with the Cor Barcelona Ars Nova. Under the baton of Kent Nagano, this performance serves up a powerful and mystical musical experience that ventures through the myths of Atlantis, the fall of the gods, and Iberian origins.
