About the work
El amor brujo ([el aˈmoɾ ˈbɾu.xo], commonly "Love, the sorcerer" but more accurately “Bewitching Love”) is a ballet by Manuel de Falla. The libretto is by María de la O Lejárraga García, although for years it was attributed to her husband Gregorio Martínez Sierra.
It exists in three versions as well as a piano suite drawn from four of its movements. Andalusian in character, its music includes the celebrated Danza ritual del fuego (Ritual Fire Dance), the Canción del fuego fatuo (Song of the Will-o'-the-Wisp) and the Danza del terror. Its songs are in Andalusian Spanish.
