The Marenostrum venue, at the foot of Sohail Castle, hosted on July 31st the performance of the emerging artists from Operación Triunfo 2025. The concert, broadcast on Amazon's streaming platform, began around 10:00 PM and lasted approximately three hours, featuring a fun repertoire with iconic songs and notable voices.
The night kicked off with a group medley of songs like “Yo quiero bailar”, “Voy a pasármelo bien”, and “It's a Sin”, introducing the 16 contestants. The first thematic block, titled 'El sueño' (The Dream), started with a trio formed by Max Navarro, Guillo Rist, and Carlos Fustel performing "Bye Bye Bye". Also highlighted was Olivia Bay's performance of "Superestrella" and Lucía Casani's acclaimed rendition of "Creo en mí", which moved the audience with a sea of lit lanterns.
The second part, 'El esfuerzo' (The Effort), featured the performance of "El único" by Crespo and Tinho, despite some sound issues. Later, Laura Muñoz left the audience speechless with a powerful version of Mónica Naranjo's "Desátame".
The most intimate moments arrived in the third part, '#sinhate', with "El sitio de mi recreo" by Claudia Arenas, who conveyed sensitivity from the piano, and "Yo no te pido la luna" by Max Navarro, whose magical interpretation concluded with his fellow contestants joining him.
The dynamic shifted in the fourth part, 'Trabajo en equipo' (Teamwork), with "APT" performed by the winner, Cris Lora, alongside Guillo Rist, adding an upbeat touch. Guille Toledano and Judith Garuz offered a rock-infused version of "Don’t leave me this way". Guille and Lucía Casani also shone with "Siempre es de noche", displaying great chemistry, while the performance of "Akureyri" by Crespo and Olivia Bay showed less connection.
The 'Iconic' block, more dance-oriented, included performances like "Yes sir I can boogie" by Olivia and Claudia, and "Nuevayol" by Guille Toledano and Guillo Rist. Guille surprised with "Como camarón", and later joined Crespo for "Mariposas". Crespo also thrilled the audience with "Can’t hold us". The block concluded with "Latin girl" by Claudia Arenas and "Where is my husband" by Olivia Bay.
The sixth part, 'Triunfo' (Triumph), focused on the show's winner, Cris Lora, who demonstrated her talent with a medley of "Punto de partida", "Uh nana", and "La noia".
The concert concluded with the 'Despedida' (Farewell) phase, where some fans, including La Dani and Mamen Márquez, joined the contestants on stage for "La potra salvaje". The event ended with the edition's anthems, "Ese lugar" and "Será por qué te amo", evoking nostalgia and emotion, accompanied by flags of Andalucía and an emotional gesture from Guille Toledano and Laura Muñoz.
