When international touring artist Enrique de Allende, a versatile tenor whose repertoire is a crossover of opera and pop, made his Carnegie Hall debut in October 2023, the theater press office pronounced him “Mexico’s new golden voice.”
Though Enrique was born in San Miguel, his career has taken off so rapidly that local audiences have seen little of him in recent years. But on Monday, February 24, 2025, at Foro El Obraje in Centro, Calzada de la Presa #50, he will give a single performance of his new show, entitled So In Love: Enrique de Allende Sings Romantic Songs.
With cabaret star Mark Hartman, three-time winner of the coveted MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) Award at the piano, Enrique will perform romantic standards from Broadway (such as Cole Porter’s classic “So In Love”), operatic gems, and love songs from the Latin American songbook.
The music producer and composer David Foster, who has trained and produced artists such as Josh Groban and Celine Dion, winner of 16 Grammy Awards, has this to say about Enrique: “The interpretations of Enrique de Allende bristle your skin. It is an experience that penetrates your ears and connects you with universal contemporary music, with a romantic, classical style, but with a youthful touch.”
The VIP section is priced at $1,500 pesos per ticket, and includes an after-concert reception at Live Aqua, next door to Foro El Obraje. Tickets for the Orchestra section (close to the stage) are $800 pesos; seats in the remaining Parterre rows are priced at $650 pesos.
