You are taken through the whole history of music, carried by strong voices, good musicians, acrobatics and dance in handsome costumes. Lighting and multimedia work together cleanly. Emotional and funny moments turn up unexpectedly and take the audience with them.
Man wird durch die gesamte Musikgeschichte geführt, getragen von starken Stimmen, guten Musikern, Akrobatik und Tanz in schönen Kostümen. Licht und Multimedia greifen sauber ineinander. Zwischendurch kommen überraschend emotionale und humorvolle Momente, die das Publikum mitnehmen.
A run through the history of live music that goes by in a flash. I took my children, twelve and eleven, and every one of us enjoyed it.
Un repaso a la historia de la música en directo que se pasa en un suspiro. Fui con mis hijos, de doce y once años, y lo disfrutamos todos.
Lights, music, costumes and performers of a very high standard. I liked that it works as a tribute to the people who built that wall of music. Best show I have seen.
I do not remember seeing anything like it: it opens with Gregorian chant, passes through a tribute to The Matrix and gives a lovely moment to the island. The standard is impeccable and it honours real music; you leave the theatre seeing things differently.
No recuerdo haber visto nada parecido: empieza con canto gregoriano, pasa por el homenaje a Matrix y dedica un momento muy bonito a la isla. Es puro nivel y un homenaje a la música de verdad; sales del teatro viéndolo todo de otra manera.
A cheerful musical that pulls you in, with genuinely good performers. Angelina in particular was a force of nature.
Un musical allegro che ti prende, con artisti davvero bravi. Angelina, in particolare, è stata una forza.
A quality show, and one to go and see. The staging, the acrobats, the dancers, the singers, the musicians and the costumes are all superb. Bravo to the whole company.
Un spectacle de qualité, à aller voir. La mise en scène, les acrobates, les danseurs, les chanteurs, les musiciens et les costumes, tout est superbe. Bravo à toute l'équipe.
A very impressive production about how music developed over the years. Explosive, sensual and technically accomplished, with so much variety that the time flew. A big production and one I would recommend.
Zeer indrukwekkende voorstelling over hoe de muziek zich door de jaren heen ontwikkeld heeft. Explosief, sensueel en technisch van hoog niveau, met zo veel afwisseling dat de tijd omvloog. Een grote productie en een aanrader.
Exceptionally good voices and a production that sweeps you along. At the end there were deserved standing ovations for everyone involved. Well worth seeing.
Außergewöhnlich gute Stimmen und eine Produktion, die einen mitreißt. Am Ende gab es verdiente Standing Ovations für alle Beteiligten. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Singers, dancers and costumes of the first order, and it keeps you hooked from start to finish. This is a production that would hold its own in any great theatre. Good for a family outing or a night with friends.
Cantantes, bailarines y vestuario de primer nivel; te mantiene enganchado de principio a fin. Es un montaje que cabría en cualquier gran teatro del mundo. Para ir en familia o con amigos.
One of the best shows I have ever seen; there were moments when my eyes filled up. A fine tribute to so many artists of the past, and you can see how much the team enjoy doing it. Many thanks for that.
Eine der besten Shows, die ich je gesehen habe; an manchen Stellen hatte ich Tränen in den Augen. Ein schöner Tribut an so viele Künstler von früher, und dem Team merkt man die Freude an der Sache an. Vielen Dank dafür.
A wonderful show, built around a good spread of music and songs from across the years. The musicians, dancers and acrobat are excellent and none of them spares themselves. I enjoyed it thoroughly and would recommend it.
I loved the show and would suggest it to anyone looking for a night of entertainment while staying in Tenerife.
A journey that runs from Mozart to Michael Jackson and is a long way from being just a concert: each musical era is raised in front of you by musicians, acrobats and dancers, with a technical team holding every moment together from behind the scenes.
Un recorrido que va de Mozart a Michael Jackson y que se queda muy lejos de ser un simple concierto: cada época musical se levanta delante de ti con músicos, acróbatas y bailarines, y con un equipo técnico que sostiene cada momento desde detrás.
The show was incredibly entertaining, and we had an absolute blast! The performers were outstanding, and the energy was infectious. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great show!
