The Teatre Principal once again hosted its cherished Christmas Concerts, held on December 17 and 18. This annual event brought together the theatre’s four choral groups—Petitons, Children’s Choir, Youth Choir and the Principal Theatre Choir—in a festive program featuring carols, lyrical works and popular songs.
Both performances had a charitable purpose, raising funds for the Zaqueo social dining hall and the Hope Hotline.
The President of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, and the Vice President and Minister of Culture and Heritage, Antònia Roca, attended the concerts, reaffirming their support for this traditional celebration.
