Billy Corganleader and founder of The Smashing Pumpkinswill bring his show to Madrid this week “A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness”. And the best news is that, after selling out both dates, a limited series of new tickets for both shows go on sale today.
Both concerts, to celebrate the September 11 and 12will take place in the Vistalegre Palace (Madrid) and will serve to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness”. One of the fundamental albums of alternative rock of the nineties and a key work in the career of the American band.
The proposal transforms the iconic double album into a stage experience that combines rock, opera, choir and symphony orchestra. The new arrangements and orchestrations have been developed by James Lowe together with Billy Corgan himself. Offering a new emotional and musical reading of historical songs from the band’s repertoire.
The show comes to Europe after a series of sold-out performances at Chicago’s Lyric Opera. According to Corgan, adapting the album to classical and operatic format has been “one of the most satisfying experiences” of his career. Also highlighting the reception of the public during those performances.
With an approximate duration of two hours and an intermission, the show will include reinterpretations of emblematic songs such as “1979” or “Tonight, Tonight”, the latter taken to a fully orchestral terrain. The costumes for the production have been designed by House of Gilles, the haute couture brand led by Chloé Mendel Corgan and Gilles Mendel.
That is why it is not surprising that, given such a succulent proposal, tickets sold out at full speed for both shows. But, as we said, the great news is that new tickets for both concerts go on sale today.
