The best journey of our lives

How many Benny Andersson songs might an ordinary citizen destroy during a karaoke session? Many more than what, at first, one might imagine. We are indebted to this musician and his librettist Björn Ulvaeus, for the repertoire of eight glorious albums which the Swedish band ABBA released between 1972 and 1982, songs which have become hymns of our popular culture.

It was Ulvaeus who had the brilliant idea of stringing all these musical hits together into a musical. This happened in 1999. By then the group was already a legend but its fame was still intact. The story of Donna, the indomitable owner of the most famous hotel looking onto the Aegean, fits with the spirit that ABBA continues to transmit after all this time: its contagious vitality, a yearning for freedom, and a desire to have fun.

Since its debut, Mamma Mia! has won the hearts of 65 million spectators all around the world. For the Teatro de la Maestranza it is an honour to join the celebration. A spectacular production and exceptional cast will take us back to Greece for this brilliant and touching story with a vibrant soundtrack. Songs that are part of our lives. Just see how you will be singing them all.
