The Auditorio de Tenerife hosted on Friday night the opening ceremony and the draw for candidates for queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2023 in its three modalities. The evening was starred by the 36 applicants, who knew their order of participation through the draw that took place during the course of the show.
Emilia González was in charge of conducting this first Carnival event in the capital of Tenerife, in which she also highlighted the performance of the Tenerife artist Jadel, interpreter of Suave, the official song of this edition. She did it on the red carpet in a setting inspired by the most representative elements of the North American metropolis.
The dance groups of the chicharrero Carnival comparsas also took part. Directed by Enrique Camacho, the opening act of the Carnival of Santa Cruz, whose theme this year is New York, was broadcast live through Televisión Canaria for the entire Archipelago and was attended by 800 spectators.
During the development of the show, the five presenters of the Children’s Gala were also met, who were selected from more than twenty boys and girls, in the casting held last Wednesday, January 11.
The inaugural act of the party included the raffle that determines the order of participation of the 36 aspiring queens in their respective modalities
