María in María de Buenos Aires at Kentucky Opera

María de Buenos Aires

Music by Astor Piazzolla
Libretto by Horacio Ferrer
November 11 and 13
Brown Theatre

Seductive, passionate, and haunting.

In the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina, María is born, “...with a curse in her voice.” Seduced by the city, María turns her back on her former, innocent life. As her world devolves into darkness, the gritty streets claim her as their own. María is made of flesh and blood, but her immortal spirit will be harder to kill in this surreal, supernatural, and spiritual journey set to the beat of Argentine tango.
