First performed on 30 June 1956 by Antonio and his Ballet Español at the 5th Festival Internacional de Música y Danza de Granada, in the Generalife Gardens. First performed by the Ballet Nacional de España on 12 May 1979 at the Teatro Juárez de Guanajuato, Mexico.
This choreography elevates the stylisation of the popular dances in which Antonio Ruiz Soler was a true maestro. In this case, Antonio reimagined the Galician muñeira through classical eyes, combining corps de ballet and pas de deux. By including touches like scallop shells and floral arches, he took Galicia’s most popular dance from the town square to theatres around the world, showcasing the harmony and poetry of Ernesto Halffter’s notes on the legend of Santa Compaña.
