Daniel Catán's FLORENCIA EN EL AMAZONAS Friday, January 31 at 7:30PM Sunday, February 2 at 2:00PM Raleigh Memorial Auditorium

North Carolina Opera’s first ever Spanish language opera! Embark on a magical and mysterious journey along the mighty Amazon. Glamorous opera legend Florencia Grimaldi is traveling incognito by steamboat through the enchanted rainforest in hopes of finding her long lost love. Wracked by storms and a cholera outbreak, she and her fellow passengers are drawn deeper into the Amazon, where fantasy and reality intertwine, and their hopes and dreams are tested.

“FLORENCIA EN EL AMAZONAS sounds and feels like Puccini and Debussy, with murmurs of Ravel and the film music of Technicolor epics. The music glistens like sun on the river; it is graceful and ravishing.” -Robert Levine, Bachtrack

“The Mexican composer’s style is firmly, richly tonal and melodically effusive, with soaring vocal lines; the orchestration dazzles.” -Andrew Farach-Colton, Gramophone

Music by Daniel Catán Libretto by Marcela Fuentes-Berain

FLORENCIA EN EL AMAZONAS runs approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes including one intermission. Performed in Spanish with English translations projected above the stage.
