Being able to perform this vibrant show so close to the actual Three Kings Day is especially exciting for the company.

“El Sueño” will return for its second annual performance at Rahway’s Hamilton Stage for the Performing Arts on Sunday January 4, also followed by a show for local K-12 schools on Tuesday January 6. “ Alborada’s tapestry of dances and music from both Spain and Latin America gives the general public the unique opportunity to share a little girl’s dream from a different cultural prism”, according to Lisa Botalico.Īfter standing ovations last year, the show is returning to Mercer County’s Kelsey Theatre (West Windsor, NJ) for its FIFTH YEAR on Saturday December 13, with a matinee and evening show for the public, as well as a morning show for K-12 schools on Friday December 12. As noted by Alborada’s Executive Director Eva Lucena, “t his cultural experience is designed to reach out not only to the growing Hispanic population in New Jersey, but also to non-Hispanic audiences with a new interpretation of a cherished holiday classic”. Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre, New Jersey’s premiere Flamenco and Spanish Dance company, celebrates this wonderful tradition with its own unique take on the “Nutcracker” story - “El Sueño” (translated as “The Dream”), conceived and directed by Alborada’s Associate Artistic Director Lisa Botalico.
