Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov's Grammy Award-winning first opera dramatizes the life and work of poet-playwright Federico García Lorca, who was assassinated by fascist forces at the start of the Spanish Civil War for his socialist politics and homosexuality. His story emerges through the memories of Catalan actress Margarita Xirgu, Lorca's muse—sopranos Angel Blue and Gabriella Reyes—who reminisces to her student Nuria, portrayed by soprano Elena Villalón. Lorca himself makes a dreamlike appearance (mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack), and flamenco singer Alfredo Tejada completes the principal cast as the Falangist politician Ramón Ruiz Alonso, who arranged Lorca's execution. Conducted by Miguel Harth-Bedoya in his Met debut, the opera crackles with the energy and rhythms of flamenco and rumba, as well as the violent backdrop of civil war, all of which springs forth in a production by Brazilian director and choreographer Deborah Colker, renowned for her work with Cirque du Soleil.
