Osvaldo Golijov’s unique, Grammy Award-winning chamber opera reunites the artists of Quantum’s acclaimed 2011 production Maria de Buenos Aires. To this point, it seems appropriate that we are in East Liberty again- this time, at the beautiful East Liberty Presbyterian Church. Ainadamar tells the story of Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca’s life as a young artist at the eve of the Spanish revolution and of his relationship with Margarita Xirgu, the great Catalan tragedian who was his muse. A flamenco-based score - Deep Song, as it’s called – articulates the pounding of horses’ hooves, the guns of the Falangists, and ultimately, the powerful, undeniable cry for freedom that could not be silenced. With a libretto by theatrical giant David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) and spectacular site-specific staging.
