Ainadamar Sneak Preview January 30, 2013

Opera Parallele invites you to join us for a sneak preview of our upcoming production of Osvaldo Golijov’s opera Ainadamar.

This special sneak preview will take place on Wednesday, January 30th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in the Sol Joseph Recital Hall at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, located at 50 Oak Street here in San Francisco.

The doors will open at 5:30 pm. This event will provide unique insight into the artistic process and you will learn about the score, the staging and the cast.

Our sneak previews are very popular events, with seats being offered on a first come, first served basis. If you are able to attend, we ask that you please plan to arrive early.

Ainadamar is inspired by the confrontation between poet Federico Garcia Lorca and the Fascist regime during the Spanish Civil War. Under the baton of Nicole Paiement, in a production conceived and directed by Brian Staufenbiel, this fiery opera artfully combines singing, visual arts (with new video mapping technology) and flamenco.

The cast includes soprano Marnie Breckenridge as Margarita Xirgu, mezzo-soprano Lisa Chavez as Federico Garcia Lorca, and soprano Maya Kherani as Nuria.

We’re very much looking forward to seeing you there!
