Bianco understands that the theatre is a laboratory cum workshop where one has the opportunity to create and a trove of sentiment and emotions to experience on the stage but also beyond: in the platea among the seating, with the audience, in the dressing rooms with the artists and in the production and administration offices with the theatre staff.

Everyone who works with him knows that he puts so much passion into engaging a great singer for the coming season or convincing those responsible that the theatre can host more activities, so that the public that it accommodates can make use of this space and spend more time there, with more convenience and so that the quality of the shows is always the best possible. Bianco is the type of creator who tries to transform that no-place that is the scenario into a place that everyone can inhabit, if only for a brief moment in time. If the dream of one orginates is rooted in Spain, the dream of one who has maintained and nurtured it awakens him every morning. This passion and this honesty he has learnt from Nuria Espert, who interprets Medea with the same intensity whether in the Roman Theatre of Mérida or on the stage of a little provincial theatre while on tour.

I believe there is no better way to sum up Daniel Bianco than with the same words with which Lluis Pasqual described him: “scenography is a delicate and complex art. A good scenographer is an artist who possesses a strong personality. His creative expression, however, does not belong to him, as it does to a painter, but he puts it at the service of an author, or of a libretto, a piece of music, the insights of a stage manager… while still retaining his imprint, his look. This requires a generous spirit. Good stage designers are those that approach theatre with a humanist outlook, for whom the voice of a singer or an actor is more important than their own design aesthetic; they are the ones who follow through the venture of putting a show on the road, they accompany it with a creative eye and the hands of an artisan, they attempt to create a place in which is ignited that spark of beauty that opens the heart of the spectator and immerses him in an undreamed of world… Daniel Bianco belongs to this category of artist. By way of intuition or by know-how. And also, and not least, because he loved – and continues to do so – with undoubted passion the theatre, with or without music, before even knowing that he would become a scenographer.” (
