The title "El amor brujo" can be translated lots of different ways, like "Love, the Magician," "Love bewitched" or our favorite, "Spooky love."
It's a great story for this year's Spooky Week!
Manuel de Falla's "El amor brujo" is technically a ballet, but it's probably not quite what you think of when you hear "ballet."
There's no Sugar Plum fairies or swans here - instead, "El amor brujo" has singing, dancing, spoken texts and a creepy, jealous ghost who just will not go away.
