This Sunday, the Orfeón de Torrevieja “Mario Bustillo” will mark its 18th anniversary with a special gala concert at the city’s Municipal Theatre. The concert, beginning at 20:00, promises a varied and emotionally rich repertoire designed to highlight both the ensemble’s musical growth and its ongoing contribution to Torrevieja’s cultural identity.
Founded in 2006, the Orfeón has steadily built a reputation for excellence in vocal performance, both within the Vega Baja and on national stages. The group’s name pays tribute to Mario Bustillo, one of the city’s most celebrated musical figures, known for his dedication to promoting local choral music and preserving the tradition of the habanera.
Sunday’s performance will include a diverse selection of works ranging from operatic arias and classical compositions to beloved zarzuelas and popular hits. Of particular note are several traditional habaneras—songs historically tied to Torrevieja’s seafaring and cultural heritage—which remain a signature of the group’s identity.
The concert is expected to draw a large audience, with strong support from residents and music lovers across the region. It forms part of the city’s ongoing summer programme of arts events and helps set the stage for later festivities, including the International Habaneras and Polyphony Contest later this month.
Admission to the performance is free, although limited seating is available. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure entry and enjoy an evening celebrating one of Torrevieja’s most enduring artistic institutions.
