Absolutely mesmerising. The choral music was superb, didn’t understand the spoken word, but the music and lights took you on a journey. A fabulous experience.
A must!

The sound and light show in the Cathedral at San Sebastian was amazing - lovely colourful lighting highlighting the structure of the church and the music was enjoyable too - several well known tunes. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Loved the selection of music. And the light effects were spectacular. I only wish, they would have told the story on multiple languages. But the music told the most.
A great experience in an impressive setting.

A great experience. Didn't know what to expect but it was excellent and left me wondering how they managed to achieve what they did. A lot of computer programming of complex lighting systems I'm sure. The commentary was in Spanish (which we didn't understand) but I don't think it detracted from the experience. We did a choral evening so had a live choir to enhance the overall effect.

I was expecting to be transcended by the lights and the choir. The lights are amazing in places. Its very cleverly done. There is a lot of classical music and a fairly constant stream of narrative which was obviously in Spanish. This was distracting and not what I was expecting. Coupled with the fact you sit on a very uncomfortable pew for an hour I was overall underwhelmed by the experience. Just lights and choir was what I wanted but the experience was very different. Genuinely sorry to be negative about it especially as I was really looking forward to it but I wouldn’t repeat it or recommend it.
Glorious performance - light show spectacular with live choir

Bought tickets for 2 on Saturday night for 9 pm performance. Incredible experience with sound, vibration, and light show accompanied by live choir for 50 minutes. The first moments gave me chills in a glorious way. I'm not religious, but love architecture and experiences. This was a home run on both accounts.
Good for the sound and the lights. Bad for the message. A lot of pro-church messaging. On the civil war omits that the church supported
