MARIA DE BUENOS AIRES is Now Playing at Theater St.Gallen
Performances run through 12 June 2022.
María de Buenos Aires is now playing at Theater St.Gallen.
A gripping, melancholic dance, born in the seedy neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and born out of a struggle against hardship, is the soul of the tango opera María de Buenos Aires. María seeks great fortune, fails, and is killed in a black mass. After her death, her shadow roams the streets of Buenos Aires and, in an endless cycle, a María is born again.
With expressive music, Ástor Piazzolla tells the story of María's difficult life and mythical death. With his only opera, he wrote a declaration of love for his hometown of Buenos Aires and in the process revolutionized tango by fusing Argentine folklore with classical, modern music and jazz.
Two up-and-coming Argentinian artists, conductor Natalia Salinas and director Marcos Darbyshire, will introduce themselves to the St.Gallen audience with this production.
