Passionate Spanish Lovers On GALA’s Stage!


Enjoy GALA Hispanic Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of El caballero de Olmedo/The Knight from Olmedo by Lope de Vega, showing until October 17 in Columbia Heights. This celebrated piece of Spanish Golden Age Theater tells the story of two young lovers caught in an impetuous passion that ends in tragedy.

The Critics Rave about El caballero de Olmedo…

The Washington Post described it as “fierce athleticism…taut staging”.
DC Theatre Scene said that it is “hauntingly beautiful, inventive and unique.”
The City Paper added that the play has “an old-world, pastoral charm that seduces.”
Metro Weekly stated that the production has “great intensity, forging a close and unbreakable bond with the audience.”
