ROSALÍA reveals the challenges behind creating the “LUX TOUR” and explains that she refused to give up any elements of the show to bring her artistic vision to life: “I remember thinking, ‘How can I have an orchestra? This is not something easy.’ Then there were discussions and disagreements. They would say, ‘If you have an orchestra, you can’t have dancers. If you have dancers, you can’t have screens.’ And I was like, ‘No, I want it all. We’re going to have it all. This is the vision, and this is what we need to do.’ Opera was a big inspiration for me. It was important to have the musicians there and also the dancers. I even thought, ‘Should I try taking some ballet classes and get myself into pointe shoes?’ I had never done ballet in my life. I think it was a month, a month and a half of non-stop, non-stop, non-stop. At the same time, I was rehearsing the other choreographies. It was like brain fog, you know? Absolute madness. I was also trying to work out a lot for singing, but I needed to sing with my muscles relaxed. So I had to find the balance between all of that and singing in pointe shoes. The whole thing was so challenging. But I just threw myself into the experience, experimented, trusted the process and let go. Yes, I love a challenge. But it makes me grow, and that’s what I want.”
