What is the Cap Rocat festival?

It is undoubtedly one of the main cultural and social events of summer. María Obrador She is a spokesman and coordinator of the Cap Rocat Festival AND GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE MADINA MAYURQA FOUNDATION. Together they have managed to create a wonder, a first -level operatic festival, in Cap Rocat, he Gran hotel of your family.

There have been many years that the creator Antonio Obrador Vidalhis father, has invested in time and dreams to Convert Cap Rocat into an operatic scenario. It was always his dream and he has finally achieved it. Walking through the place in ruins I imagined many things, I dreamed many things, things that seemed follies impossible to get. He has achieved it with his genius, with dose of madness and knowing very well the spaces and this in particular.

Cap Rocat was a dream that became a reality, but he had to settle to fill him with music, theater, opera. Obrador is a great set designer, a passionate about music and after two years of concerts, last year finally managed to create a full -fledged musical festival in one of the most beautiful stages in the world.

The first concert was very exciting, still with the restrictions of COVID, but it was very excited to start with local artists such as Simón Orfila and Irene more. Pablo Mielgo He delivered one hundred percent, he is a wonderful man. That night was magical despite the coldness of the masks and the distances between chair and chair. The place is magical, the presence of the sea, so close, and the sunset, the colors it gives, They convert that moment into unique and unrepeatable.

Two years ago it was also wonderful with the great diva concert Sondra Radvanovskynext to the Simfònica orchestra of Les Illes Balears, under the musical direction of the teacher Pablo Mielgo. It was called The night of the senses. Thanks to the implication of the great Ilias Tzempetonidis – Artistic coordinator of the San Carlos de Naples Theater- as artistic director, who immediately fell in love with the project.

Ilias Tzempetonidis means for the Madina Mayurqa Foundation and his team, I would not say that everything is a team of people delivered to the project and all give their best so that this genius, a full -fledged festival, goes ahead. Ilias is indispensable for his know -how, for the contacts he has and the ability to put together artists of the highest level in three days. There are theaters who need years to organize something similar. The success of Ilias has been to create a super attractive and powerful program to be able to bring it closer to the Mallorcan public. The Foundation wants the Mallorcans to do it and some have already done so.

The hotel is tiny and clear that we enjoy it, Mallorcans and customers, but It must not be a festival only for a few privilegedthe hotel wants to contribute to the famous complementary offer that undoubtedly attracts quality tourism that values ​​the exceptional. The fact that it is celebrated in summer is among other things because It is a summer festival that is celebrated outdoors and favorable weather conditions are needed. But, in addition, it is the time when the theaters and large opera rooms are closed with which There is more availability of artists. Before it was THE NIGHT OF THE SENSESbecause it is an experience, walking through Cap Rocat, the sea, the breeze, the torches.

Since last year is the Cap Rocat festival, which means a huge leap. Three nights they expect to become more when we all feel the hug of the public of the Mallorcans and those who visit us. Llucmajor is in luckfirst because we did not know, that we know, a festival of this level. All sum.

He was clearly born by Antonio Obrador’s effort. Everything is the result of his efforts, his vision, his way of understanding Cap Rocat as a whole and continues for his illusion basically. An illusion that has managed to infect, Pablo Mielgo, the first, who in turn infected it to Ilias and he has also infected all of us

It has created a very beautiful synergy With Cap Rocat and with the Madina Mayurqa Foundation of which María Obrador Planas is a general secretary. In the case of the festival, it is also a spokesman. But All his brothersand this is the most beautiful, They are involved in one way or anotherso We expect the new editionwhich will be, I am sure, of the most beautiful we have enjoyed so far.
