Christmas at the Coast

First Presbyterian Church of Newport

This unparalleled concert event starts with Spanish Dance No. 1 by de Falla from his opera, La vida breve or "Life is Short". The opera tells the story of Salud, a gypsy girl who is passionately in love with a wealthy man named Paco. He is engaged to be married to someone else and has kept this secret from her. Once the truth is known, Salud and her uncle crash the wedding party and confront the man and his new bride. Paco rejects Salud and in grand opera fashion, she dies of broken heart and collapses at his feet. We promise, the Spanish Dance No. 1 his a happy rollicking  event that will absolutely please your ears.
