A Grand Finale
One of the most outstanding baritones of his generation, Simon Keenlyside, returns to LIFE Victoria alongside Malcolm Martineau. He has appeared at the festival twice before: once at the Palau de la Música Catalana in 2018 and again in 2023 at the recently renamed Sala Victoria de los Ángeles in Les Corts. Now, he returns to close this edition of LIFE Victoria, which has evolved from a festival into a concert series, extending its programming throughout the year and consolidating its activity. In Barcelona, Keenlyside left his mark with his interpretations of Ambroise Thomas's Hamlet and the title role of Don Giovanni at the Liceu. His career has taken him to the world's leading opera houses, offering performances that are already legendary. Forming this prestigious duo with Martineau, whom he knows well, it is an honor for them to appear for the first time in the exquisite Domènech i Montaner Hall at the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista.
