"

Today was the last performance that I am going to do in the theater

. My children want me to stop working in the theater, especially not to tour."

This is how the 81-year-old actress Concha Velasco, one of the most beloved and respected in the entertainment world, said goodbye to the stage.

It happened at the Calderón Theater in Valladolid.

Standing, the actress addressed the audience in a sad but firm voice.

-Well, we love you!

- Long live the chicha ye-yé!

There was applause and compliments.

And a general "Ohhhh" 'of dismay.

Nobody wanted to believe it.

Her countrymen had gone to see her in the play

La habitacion de María

, written by her son Manuel Velasco, like the previous one,

El funeral

.

He was in full swing, which began in August 2020 in San Sebastián.

There were still about 25 functions left but the decision sounded firm, although hurt.

The actress, who

will turn 82

on November 29, was operated this summer for a hernia.

During the pandemic, "it was fatal, too static," according to a source close to the protagonist of films such as

Mom, I want to be an artist

.

The winner of the

Goya of Honor from the Film Academy in 2012

for her entire career stated this August that she had to sell the cutlery to pay the bills at the pharmacy.

His son Manuel Velasco denied that he had financial problems.

Concha Velasco said goodbye to her beloved Valladolid audience with

a phrase from Santa Teresa

: "Read and you will drive, don't read and you will be driven. May you be very happy and

goodbye

."
