Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca

Martín Santangelo and Soledad Barrio founded Noche Flamenca in 1993.

Soledad Barrio

Soledad Barrio is an award-winning dancer. She has been recognized by the NEA National Endowment for the Arts, the Bessies, Lucille Lortel Awards and Dance Magazine. Alastair Macaulay, the famed New York Times dance critic, called her “one of today’s great dancers of any genre” in 2011. Even as a little girl, Barrio loved to perform, but she her flamenco passion blossomed when she saw Carlos Saura’s movie “Bodas de Sangre” (Blood Wedding) at age 19. Within a year, Barrio became a professional dancer. Dancers just have to dance.

Martín Santangelo

Artistic Director & Producer Martín Santangelo managed to build this company and keep it going for over 20 years. Wow!

Flamenco Shows

  • “Legacy of Our Dreams” (2025) introduces a new generation of dancers trained by Barrio. This may be the beginning of Barrio passing the torch. In the classical arts such as flamenco, to become a master, you have to train with one.
  • “Searching for Goya” (2024) is a critically-acclaimed work inspired by the famous Spanish painter who, as a leading figure in the Romantic Movement, was a bridge from the Old Masters to Modern Masters. Like Goya, contemporary flamenco is always working the balance between tradition and modernity. The program was conceived during the isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tough times often make us question our identity, and Goya is part of the Spanish identity.
  • “Entre Tú y Yo” (2019) is about choosing partners. “Between you and I” is based on German playwright Arthur Schnitzler’s 1897 play about provocative sexual themes set in Vienna. Couples pair up and then one goes on to a new partner in a very New York way. “Thank you, Next.” In a nod to our times and New York City life, this version of the show includes two women which for flamenco is a bit radical. Noche Flamenca delivers a simple flamenco with star power. If you don’t like big stagey productions, this is your flamenco. It’s some of the best in New York City. Cuban actress Sissi Fleitas, a big flamenco fan, said this show is really good.
  • “Intimo” (Intimate, 2018)
  • “Tres Sueños” (Three Dreams, 2017) is about the time in Spain when Muslims, Jews, and Christians sometimes dreamt together. It’s generally not taught in the U.S., but Islamic Spain (711-1492) was the third great European civilization, between the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. It was a time of great scientific and mathematic advancement. Jewish poets who wrote in Arabic for Islamic sultans, recovered classical Greek knowledge from the great libraries of Islam. This was the foundation of who we are today in Western Civilization.
  • “Antigona” (2015) is Noche Flamenca’s adaptation of Sophocle’s story about a woman who defies the king to bury the body of her slain brother, the loser of the battle. Barrio relates the story to her mother’s experience living through the Spanish Civil War. Hispanic families stay together no matter what. “Antigona” has a cast of 17 dancers and musicians. It was nominated for a 2015 Bessie Award.
