Overview

• The concert is scheduled for Wednesday at 20:00 in the Kursaal with Euskadiko Orkestra and the Easo Abesbatza.
• Tenor Caspar Singh partners Urbieta‑Vega, with Henry Neill as Riff and Nerea Berraondo as Anita among a largely Basque supporting cast.
• Clark Rundell leads a tailored orchestra featuring reduced strings and an expanded percussion section with drum kit, saxophone and electric guitar.
• Chorus director Gorka Miranda prepared Easo Abesbatza directly from the scores rather than relying on films or recordings.
• Urbieta‑Vega approaches María with lyric‑soprano technique without amplification, guided by Bernstein’s own lyric‑cast recording, as tickets are reported nearly sold out.
