Flamenc Barcelona

This is a really hard rating to give, as I truly don’t feel the performers deserve a three but, unfortunately, the experience as a whole does. I’ll start off by saying that the dancers were incredible and my fiancé and I were truly captivated by the show from the very beginning. Our favourite was the woman in black, as she really demonstrated such passion and emotion when dancing, which made for a spectacular finale. We’ve never seen Flamenco before so we’re not sure how traditional the dancing was but, either way, we were impressed. There was a 12-15 minute guitar interlude in the middle of the performance, which was nice, but meant that the performance itself didn’t really last for an hour - we didn’t mind this too much though. The part that really let it down was the staff and the way we were treated. We had VIP tickets, which weren’t cheap, just so we could sit on the balcony, as we were aware that the theatre was at one-level (bar the very back) and we wanted to make sure we could see. When we arrived, we were the first in line and the man said the seats are on a completely first come first served basis, so we were excited to get our balcony seats. After heading downstairs, the woman we showed our ticket to told us that we wouldn’t be allowed to sit on the balcony as there was a reservation on the balcony, which disappointed us as there was nothing written anywhere on the website or in person suggesting that you could do that. She said that, if there was still space before the show, we could move there. From then on, she largely ignored us after bringing our drinks over, gave us dirty looks and never said another word about the balcony. Then, a group of 5 women arrived around 10 minutes prior to the show and took their places in VIP on the front row near us. The same woman who worked there took their drinks orders, was laughing and joking with them and, to our horror, offered them places on the balcony instantly, right in front of our faces without them even asking. This really made me angry, so I interjected and told her we were going to sit there if it was available as we were the first people to arrive and that we had already asked. She looked a bit shocked by my boldness but she had blatantly told us no but was offering the same places to a group of women she seemed to prefer - we paid enough for the tickets so I wasn’t going to allow such a thing to happen. My fiancé and I are both black and have a radar for when we’re being discriminated against and not being given the same treatment as others for that reason - this was one of those moments. I don’t even believe there was a reservation at all in the first place. Whether there was or wasn’t, what happened with the staff member made us feel unwelcome and annoyed from the get-go. The theatre was a small and intimate venue which I liked, but it would have been nice to have seen seating rows on different levels so that everyone could see properly, as I could see some people struggling. The toilets were dark and grubby too, which wasn’t nice. It’s a real shame to say that, despite the performance being wonderful, we were treated like garbage by that particular staff member and it really ruined the experience. Kudos to the dancers and singers though as they are so talented and definitely worth watching - they seem incredibly passionate about their craft.

Honestly the show was fantastic. It was an hour, and full of culture, music, and positive energy. The dancers were amazing and the singers too. The only issue was the staff. They were rude & untrained. Although the show was amazing, I wouldn’t go there again. We bought VIP tickets which meant we were supposed to skip the line, but then when we got there, the front attendant told us we still had to be in line. I had to show them that my ticket said skip the line. It was an unpleasant first impression. Then when we got downstairs, we were meant to sit in the front row with our VIP tickets but they said that because there was a “large group” we would need to sit behind. It was very unprofessional and a horrible first 10 minutes. When the show started, it was great, but those first 10 minutes really created a bitter taste.

This great flamenco theater was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. The performers were incredibly talented, and the energy they brought to the stage was contagious. The music was so beautiful that I found myself swaying to the rhythm throughout the entire show. The ambiance of the bar was very cozy and intimate, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The wine selection was also delicious and perfectly paired with the show. I highly recommend this theater to anyone looking for a great night out and a taste of traditional Spanish culture.

Quite disappointed actually. Honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I bought the tickets. When they start, you see one performer who does an amazing job, then the others join her. Which again was impressive then they all leave and for a good half of the show you get one performer on stage and that's it. I fully understand that they all need a break between but they left her on stage for quite some time. Just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Absolutely great show! All musicians, singers, dancers... everyone was terrific! My biggest compliments go to the dancer Violetta Barrio - she is a real diamond. I would recommend to choose seats in A sector (35 EUR) - you will have the best view. In a bar there is a wide selection of complimentary drinks (with a ticket) - Sangria, beer, sparkling wine, non alcoholic drinks. Staff is awesome too :) THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I don't normally leave reviews but I have to this time as I had a very bad experience. The performance itself was amazing but the audience sat in VIP zone kept taking long videos (like 5 mins) which disturbed others. So I can say I paid 30 euros to watch 45 mins of the performance and 15 mins of his phone. NO STAFF warned or stopped him, which I don't understand.

Great experience, the dancers and singers were amazing. We reserved the back seats, it was better than the 1st and 2nd rows, the view is also better. The Flamingo Show is a great idea for those who want to see a beautiful peace of the Spanish culture. It’s located in the center (Rambla de Catalunya) and definitely worth it. (November 2023)

I'm not a huge fan of flamenco so I couldn't say if the dance was good or not, it was entertaining though. The theatre is s tiny basement room, very atmospheric. Buy the cheapest seat and get there early, the best seats are infact the front row of the group C seats (they are slightly elevated so you can easily see over the A and B seats).

Excellent performance. Warning on hip seats though. Paid for vip seats. I came there mainly to see the guitarist(s). Was given option of balcony which we took. The problem was I could not see the guitarist for half the show. So yes I was disappointed by the experience. Have to go see anither flamenco show.

Changed my Life! This was Beyond my Expectations! I cannot express how much I loved every second. Every artist was so involved, so much passion and charisma. Pepe is the Man! Everyone is so Gorgeous and Talented. I loved the environment, the drinks, and the whole thing was just exceptional. Must come!b

Such a fun experience! We absolutely loved the show, the music and dancers were incredible. I just wish I knew the seating was all going to be one level not like stadium seating. It was a little hard to see but we still really enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

The show was great. The musicians and dancers were excellent and very entertaining. The venue wasn't so great unless you paid for VIP seats. I had a head in my way the entire show. By the end of the show my neck was aching from moving left and right.

A great show! The ticket price is very good for the show and there are drinks too in case you pick this ticket. Cool place full of vibrant every and dancers which are really good and passionate! Music is live from very good musicians and … Més

After reading other reviews, we were not too sure about going to this show - however, we really enjoyed it. There were four dancers who each did their dance to either a backing singer or backing people clapping a beat. Near the end, the … Més

This show did not disappoint. I could feel the story being told thru the music, dance, the performers vibes, the costumes, and the atmosphere. Bravo and the bartenders didn’t disappoint. The sangria was delicious. …

Lovely flamenco show, it felt like it went on for a while, definitely got moneys worth. You get one free drink but I would suggest a buying a few drinks in the beginning so you don’t disturb the shoe.

I enjoyed it more than I expected. The staff can be a little abrupt but it was hot so whatever. Front door greeter was very nice. All the seats are good so really just buy what your budget allows.

We went to few flamingo dance performances in Barcelona. We bought the VIP tickets and sat on the first row. The show was good but not as good and impressive as another one that we went to.

Amazing show, so much talent. I'm a big fan of cultural shows, and this is definitely in my top 3. The venue is simple in its setup. we paid 50euro for VIP, which included front … Més

It was the best thing I've ever spent €30 on! Just about right amount of people fit there, not so many. Before the show you can take a drink (one drink is for free with your ticket).

So emotional, so powerful, so touchy. I've been always wanting to see real Flamenco in Spain. My dream came true. I enjoyed so much with sangria! Cheers to the superb performance!

This was my first experience going to a flamenco show and it was definitely worth it!! Booked a Zone A ticket, which is the front row and am glad I did because the … Més

Maybe it’s just not my thing. I see the artistry but it’s not elegant to me. Even the beat seems off. The musicians and dancers were incredibly talented though. … Més

It was a very interesting program, although it is traditional Spanish music and we do not understand the language, it was incredible, a good experience.
