MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES
THE CZECH PREMIERE OF THE WORLD FAMOUS “TANGO OPERITA”, A PERFORMANCE COMBINING DANCE THEATRE, DRAMA AND OPERA.
María, a girl from the suburbs of Buenos Aires, was born “with a curse on her lips on
a day that God was drunk”. She is a character full of passion with a troubled fate, but
she is also a spectacular allegory of the atmosphere of Buenos Aires and Argentinian
tango itself. The story of María de Buenos Aires was written by the composer and
bandoneon virtuoso, Ástor Piazzola, based on a libretto by the Uruguayan poet,
Horacio Ferrer.
