Florencia en el Amazonas
Showtimes
Looking for love in all of the wrong places.
Inspired by the magical realism of celebrated author Gabriel García Márquez, Florencia en el Amazonas is a journey through the physical and mystical worlds of love, desire and the mighty Amazon River. Florencia Grimaldi is travelling through the enchanted rainforest and hopes to find her long lost lover, a butterfly hunter who disappeared in the jungle many years ago. 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. Written by the late Mexican composer Daniel Catán, Florencia en el Amazonas was the first-ever Spanish-language opera commissioned in the U.S. and has become a smash sensation around the globe ever since its premiere.
Inspirado por el realismo mágico del célebre autor Gabriel García Márquez, Florencia en el Amazonas es un viaje a través del poderoso río Amazonas, el deseo y los mundos físicos y místicos del amor. Florencia Grimaldi viaja a través de la selva encantada y espera encontrar a su amante perdido, un cazador de mariposas que desapareció en la selva hace muchos años. Agobiada por las tormentas y un brote de cólera, ella y sus compañeros de viaje se sumergen profundamente en el Amazonas, donde la fantasía y realidad se entrelazan y sus esperanzas y sueños se ponen a prueba. Escrito por el fallecido compositor mexicano Daniel Catán, Florencia en el Amazonas fue la primera ópera en español difundida en Estados Unidos y desde su estreno se convirtió en una gran sensación alrededor del mundo
Sung in Spanish with English supertitles.
Running time: 2 hours and 10 minutes including one 30 minute intermission.
