Maria de Buenos Aires

Long Beach Opera will premiere this new production that's set during Argentina's Dirty War, a time when over 30,000 people were arrested, killed, or simply "disappeared." Astor Piazzolla's pulsing Latin beat blends with Horacio Ferrar's poetic libretto to create a love story of "stunning originality" and power. Starring Peabody Southwell. Gregorio Gonzalez, and Gregorio Luke. Sung in Spanish with English supertitles. Contains scenes of violence, simulated rape, and partial nudity.
