Report Slams Tenerife Carnival Gala Over Stale Format, Public Spending

A recent report has highlighted growing concerns about the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival Queen Gala. Many people feel the event is creatively stuck and question how effectively public money is spent on its production.

The report suggests that many people see the annual Gala as a show that has barely changed in decades. Even with new technology like digital screens and modern lighting, the pace, script, and artistic direction are criticized for lacking innovation and relying on outdated ideas.

Critics also point to the choice of guest artists, whose performances sometimes disappoint, with issues like lip-syncing being mentioned. Since public money pays for these artists, people are demanding more transparency and want to know the financial details of their contracts. The use of external presenters, who often make clichéd comments about the region, also contributes to the feeling that the event is trying too hard to impress outsiders.

The report highlights that while the street Carnival remains lively and creative, the Queen's Gala has become an expensive, predictable routine that fails to excite and feels like a mere formality. People are actively expressing their unhappiness on social media, questioning why public money is spent on a show that doesn't meet modern expectations.

In conclusion, the report states that the event needs a complete rethink of its concept, direction, and script. It warns that if the Gala's management and approach don't change significantly, sticking to the current model could have political consequences for those in charge.
