World premiere on 30th June 1956 by Antonio y su Ballet Español at the Jardines del Generalife of the Alhambra, as part of the 5th International Festival of Music and Dance of Granada (Spain). Premiered by the Ballet Nacional de España on 12th May 1979 at the Teatro Juárez in 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.
