Overview
- Early reviews of the O2 Arena stop praise the show as a soaring, artful experience, with one critic calling it a religious experience.
- The staging unfolds like a gallery exhibit with painterly sets, ballet and sculptural tableaux shaped by director Dimitris Papaioannou, La Horde and flamenco consultant José Maya.
- An orchestra placed at the center of the arena, led by Cuban conductor Yudania Gómez Heredia, anchors the performance and shares the spotlight with Rosalía.
- The set leans on Lux while folding in Motomami-era highlights and a cover of Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You performed inside a picture frame.
- Religious imagery is explicit, including a swinging, smoking speaker that nods to Santiago de Compostela’s incense burner, and resurfaced photos of Rosalía’s teenage pilgrimage deepen the show’s biographical pull as the tour heads to more dates including the United States.
