AceShowbiz - On Monday night, March 16, 2026, Spanish singer Rosalía kicked off her highly anticipated Lux Tour with a breathtaking debut performance at the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France. The event transformed a typical pop concert into a grand operatic experience, spanning nearly two hours and showcasing a theatrical production in four distinct acts.

Rosalía, hailing from Barcelona, captivated an audience of 13,700 fans, including a significant number of Spanish speakers, with a setlist that heavily featured songs from her latest album, Lux. Intertwined within the performance were fan-favorite hits from her 2022 breakthrough album, Motomami. In a thoughtful nod to the local crowd, all lyrics were simultaneously translated and projected in French above the stage throughout the show.

The concert’s structure was elaborately divided into four acts plus an intermezzo, each marked by unique staging, costume changes, and choreography crafted by the esteemed French dance collective (La) Horde. This troupe of ten dancers accompanied Rosalía throughout the evening, enhancing the visual and emotional depth of the performance.

The opening set the dramatic tone immediately: a live classical orchestra played Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel” as a visual tableau reminiscent of a painting unfolded. The scene revealed sunlit staircases draped in fabric, from which Rosalía emerged inside a crate, resembling a living artwork. She stood poised on a pedestal, dressed in a white leotard and pink tutu, evoking Edgar Degas’ famous ballerina sculpture, complete with pointe dancing.

The show was steeped in religious and art-historical symbolism, featuring imagery such as a nun’s white headdress, a giant swinging censer, and a confessional sketch that introduced the song “La Perla.” The performance balanced intimate, ethereal moments — including a shimmering rendition of “Sauvignon Blanc” played on a white piano under a curtain of golden rain — with energetic crowd-pleasers like “BIZCOCHITO” and “DESPECHÁ.”

A highlight of Act II was Rosalía’s version of “Berghain,” which included recorded contributions from Björk and Yves Tumor. The techno-driven finale of this act generated an electrifying atmosphere, shaking the arena with its intensity.

One of the most surprising elements appeared in Act III, when Rosalía performed a rotating surprise cover song. For the Lyon show, she delivered a disco-infused take on Gloria Gaynor’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” framing herself inside a gilded picture frame, reminiscent of the Mona Lisa.

The concert concluded with the poignant “Magnolias,” the closing track from Lux. Rosalía performed this song solo on a bare stage before disappearing into a single beam of light. The audience responded with a lengthy standing ovation directed at the orchestra conductor and musicians, underscoring the evening’s grandeur and artistry which felt more akin to a night at the Opéra de Lyon than a conventional pop show.
