The conductor, Zubin Mehta, opens the 66th edition of the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance in the symbolic Palace of Charles V, located inside the Alhambra, alongside the Orchestra and Choir from Teatro di San Carlo and with whom he¿ll play one of the basic pillars of European symphony, Beethoven¿s No. 9. The Indian artist, who will perform for a fourth time in the prestigious theatre in Granada following his appearances in 1964, 1968 and 2011, compared this piece from the German composer to great creations like the "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci or the "Pietà" by Michelangelo.
