Spain beats all other European destinations in the romantic flair category. Great Britain is hospitable and lovely, to be sure; Italy has monuments that awe; and France has pastries to make a man weak in the knees. But Spain has a devil-may-care appeal that sets it apart from its neighbors. Plus the Spanish basically invented naps and late dinners. Enough said. Spanish music is especially adept at evoking the country’s warm, lively culture — the symphonic works of 18th century Spain are lush, optimistic and melodic. The Orchestra of New Spain will create an atmosphere of Madrid-inspired fantasy during their performances of Villa Y Corte at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Dallas City Performance Hall (2520 Flora St). With a program that includes vocal performances from Jendi Tarde, Patrick Gnage, Anna Frederika Popova, Eugenia Ramirez and tenor Sergio Cepeda, contrasted with orchestral works from Boccherini and Brunetti, this beautifully produced tribute to all things Spain is a ticket to global romance without the airfare. Seats range from $25 to $75; visit orchestraofnewspain.org to purchase.
