Among the many attractions of the next season of the Teatro Real in Madrid is the programming of "Viva la Mamma !, Le convenienze ed invonvenienze teatrali" by Gaetano Donizetti. This hilarious work has the paradox that the "prima donna" is a baritone, Mamma Agatha, who will play Luis Cansino, who after his success as Poncia in "La casa de Bernarda Alba" will give life to a transvestite character. With the musical direction of Evelino Pidò and José Miguel Pérez Sierra, this co-production of the Real with the National Opera of Lyon and the Grand Theater of Geneva, features the staging of the acclaimed Laurent Pelly.
