Spanish term

bajará el telón del circuito

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Mi texto hace referencia al último evento del calendario de torneos del Circuito Europeo de golf. Contexto:

"(La localidad de XXX) ***bajará el telón del Circuito*** en Europa, por segundo año consecutivo, con la celebración del (nombre del evento). Será la última cita del calendario internacional que se dispute en el continente..."

A ser posible quisiera conservar el símil aunque no sé si suena forzado en inglés.
Había pensado algo como "will stage the final act", pero no lo veo claro.
Mil gracias por la ayuda

@Lisa My intention wasn't to dispute your answers, just to prevent an easy mistake.
Lisa McCarthy Jul 19, 2011:
Hmm I'm not sure anybody said it was the end of the season.
Beatriz Ramírez de Haro (asker) Jul 19, 2011:
Thank you all Great help!
Simon Bruni Jul 19, 2011:
It's not actually the end of the season It's the end of the European Tour competitions held in Europe. Although called the European Tour, it includes tournaments in Africa and the Middle East, and the final of the tour is the Dubai World Championship.
Lisa McCarthy Jul 19, 2011:
@ Beatriz I also think your own suggstion works, btw :)

glad to help!
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : "Bring down the curtain" works perfectly and is exactly the right metaphor (I'm not sure about your references, but there are plenty of good ones out there). Theatrical curtains are brought down, not drawn.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT:
**The curtain falls**, the performance closes.

**To draw the curtain**, to close it over an object, or to remove it; hence:
(a) To hide or to disclose an object.
(b) **To commence or close a performance.**

***To drop the curtain***, to end the tale, or close the performance. [1913 Webster] (MAYBE A BIT OUTDATED THOUGH?)

Thank you for your help!

agree James A. Walsh : The "curtain" most definitely needs to be "drawn" down here, as opposed to being "brought" down! Quite a difference, you know!

will bring the tour in Europe to a close

The Circuito Europeo de Golf is the European Tour. It says, "in Europe", because it then moves on to the Middle East, with the final in Dubai I believe.
