Music tourism: Malinche Symphonic by Nacho Cano arrives at the Auditorium of Palma (Spain)

02-01-2026

After establishing itself as one of the most significant theatrical and musical phenomena of the last decade, Malinche—the musical created by Nacho Cano—takes a decisive step in its artistic evolution with the launch of Malinche Symphonic, an unprecedented production that goes beyond the traditional stage format to become a large-scale musical experience. The Auditorium of Palma de Mallorca will host this special performance on Friday, 16 January 2026 at 9:00 p.m., in a one-of-a-kind event that aims to place the island on the international circuit of major contemporary symphonic productions.

Malinche Symphonic follows the extraordinary run of the original musical in Madrid, where, in its third year on stage, it has already surpassed 600,000 spectators, becoming a true cultural benchmark and a clear example of how music, history, and emotion can resonate with highly diverse audiences. This new version is not a simple adaptation, but rather an ambitious and deeply artistic reinterpretation that expands Malinche’s sonic and narrative universe into a symphonic dimension, conceived for major auditoriums and international stages.

The show offers an unusual and especially powerful fusion of a symphony orchestra, a rock band, and the voices of the leading performers who helped shape the success of the original musical. This combination creates a unique musical alchemy that heightens the work’s dramatic intensity and amplifies its emotional impact, allowing audiences to rediscover Malinche’s story through a renewed, more epic, and immersive musical lens. All of this is supported by high-level audiovisual production that strengthens the narrative and turns each musical number into an immersive experience.

With more than 60 artists on stage, Malinche Symphonic stands out as a milestone in today’s artistic scene, both for its scale and for its creative concept. The staging has been designed to dialogue with the architecture and acoustics of the Palma Auditorium, integrating image, lighting, and sound into a coherent whole that places the audience at the heart of the storytelling. The result is a production that combines the solemnity and rich timbre of symphonic music with the contemporary energy of rock and the expressive power of musical theatre.

The musical proposal and artistic concept of Malinche Symphonic were developed by Sasha Alexander Pantchenko, conductor and arranger of the musical Malinche, who worked closely with Nacho Cano in creating the music premiered in Madrid in 2022. This collaboration ensures fidelity to the original spirit of the work, while introducing new nuances, arrangements, and musical developments conceived specifically for the symphonic format. Each musical passage has been carefully adapted to enhance its emotional and narrative depth, offering a broader and more profound reading of the score.

Malinche Symphonic not only revisits a pivotal story through an innovative musical approach, but also reinforces the role of music as a universal language capable of building bridges across cultures, eras, and sensitivities. The figure of Malinche, reimagined through this symphonic proposal, is presented with an expressive richness that invites reflection, dialogue, and emotion within a top-tier artistic context.

The show has an approximate duration of two hours, during which audiences will experience an intense and carefully crafted musical journey. Tickets are available in different categories, with stalls priced at €75 and €68, and balcony seating at €58 and €45, offering options for different audience profiles while reinforcing the accessible nature of a large-scale production.

Malinche Symphonic at the Auditorium of Palma de Mallorca is thus shaping up to be one of the major cultural highlights of early 2026—an unmissable event for lovers of music, theatre, and major stage productions, and a unique opportunity to experience an already iconic work in a new and thrilling artistic dimension.
