The names of the leading characters
to star in 'El Último Jinete' (The Last Horseman), the new musical

The rehearsals of this new show,

Ranjit Bolt, started today. Víctor Conde (director), José Luis
Sixto (resident director), Morgan Large (scenography), Karen Bruce
(choreography) and Yvonne Blake (wardrobe design) make up the
creative team of this much awaited show.
Its producer, Andrés Vicente Gómez,
explains about 'El Último Jinete': "The Arabian horse is strength
and sensitivity. It is nobility and memory, capable of remembering
scenes of abuse and will never forget a caress. It developed in the
desert. There, it cast its intelligence, its character and its
resistance. In our musical, the protagonist lives a parallel life
of loyalty and love. He and his horse look for each other in their
dreams. In their life experiences, they will travel through the
most fascination parts of the East and the West. They will
experience peace, violence, cruelty and compassion. They will get
to know places of extreme beauty and beings that represent all
human and magical types. Amid the vicissitudes of this world they
will live great adventures, but none as great as having met each
other. The Last Horseman is not just Tiradh's dream but the dream
of all those who are working in this risky and innovative
production, which will soon premiere in the world."
Arabian Horses Production LTD and
Andrés Vicente Gómez are the producers of El ÚltimoJinete, a new
musical that will open in Madrid next December 5 until January 6 of
2013, being shown here for 5 weeks.
