Pascual González and Cantores de Híspalis announced a few days ago the suspension of all their performances scheduled for next Lent, after having held some of their postponed concerts last fall. The cancellation affected all the concerts of the tour, such as the one on March 26 in Linares (Jaén) or April 4 in Alhaurín el Grande (Málaga).
Christ, Passion and Hope is an Andalusian concert-opera that narrates the life of Jesus Christ in a musical, audiovisual, and lyrical language, through a libretto “made through the sum or fusion of liturgical drama, sacred processional music, popular culture, folklore, and tradition”.
