Spanish Golden Age theater comes to life in Miami this month. FUNDarte, the City of Aventura and the Miami-Dade County Auditorium present Lope de Vega’s beloved comedy “El Perro del Hortelano” (The Dog in the Manger) at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center from October 9 to 11.
A witty tale of love, jealousy and class — the classic comedy of a countess who can’t have her secretary but won’t let anyone else have him either — “El Perro del Hortelano” is one of the jewels of 17th-century Spanish drama, rarely staged in our city. Seeing it performed in Spanish, in a top South Florida venue, is a treat for theater lovers and a perfect outing for anyone who cherishes Hispanic culture.
Don’t miss this rare chance to enjoy Lope de Vega’s genius on stage. Tickets are available at aventuracenter.org.
