Our annual Ritmos Latinos program is just one of the ways we do this. These offerings feature ballets set to Latin music in a way that celebrates both the music and the dance equally. We are thrilled to bring back this tradition with 2 audience favorites. The evocative QUE BONITO AMOR is set to rapturous score of Mariachi music. No matter what your ethnic background, as Southern Californians, we all know that when you hear Mariachi music, there has got to be a party around the corner. So this piece is a valentine to that sense of joy and community. The title comes from a son my aunt sang at a family wedding (which appears in the ballet). Que Bonito Amor – How Beautiful is Love. MAMBOMANIA is probably San Diego Ballet’s signature piece. Set to the music of my childhood, it is also deeply personal. Although it is meant to be danced with a great deal of dynamism, it also doesn’t take itself too seriously. When we have a new crop of dancers, it is good to have them exposed to it, as it hits the 3 E’s of the San Diego Ballet (To excite, enrich, and entertain) so squarely. After last year’s season of challenges, I also thought that including MAMBOMANIA is the season opener would also be a great way to let our patrons know that we are open for business. Welcome back to the San Diego Ballet! Related links: San Diego Ballet on Instagram San Diego Ballet on Facebook
