115. How do you run an arts centre? With Artistic Director of Les Arts Valencia, Jésus Iglesias Noriega
Join us this week for a zencast to sunnier climes as we chat to Artistic Director of Les Arts, Valencia Jésus Iglesias Noriega.
Jésus has been doing brilliant work at Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía - the incredible building in Valencia which is home to Les Arts, with a huge focus on social responsibility. There are productions specifically for Under 29s, prison performances, opera in a truck heading to remote villages, performances in homes for the elderly and so much more.
It is a breath of fresh air hearing from Jésus about his exciting plans and programming for the coming season. Opera is at the heart of Les Arts but there are frequent Flamenco, Folk, Pop and solo performances bringing new crowds and creating a centre for everyone.
Jésus chats about changing audience habits, what he’s excited about in the 2024 season and beyond, how you go about programming for upcoming season and some of his favourite community projects.
There is talk of Panini style sticker albums for opera stars - very much not Jésus’ idea but have a listen to see if he goes for it!
