***********************


   Opera de la Calle is best translated as “Music of the Streets”. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the company creatively and energetically mixes 500 years of Cuban culture, a fast moving hard to describe pastiche of dance, voice and instruments encompassing local traditions and international influences.  Members of the company include professionals graduated from Cuba’s finest schools of music and dance and newcomers whose natural talents have found release and nurture.

Opera is not only exceptional entertainment, quite popular with contemporary Cuban audiences and all variety of foreign visitors, but also a fault line in Cuban cultural change.  You can read more about its complicated and controversial history as a pioneering mixed private public venture here:  http://operadelacalle.blogspot.com/

Creator (and international opera singer) Ulises Aquino is well regarded in the mainstream of the Cuban arts world and has achieved respect for his independent path.  The Ministry of Culture and friends in the US are investing in the rehabilitation of the Arenal Theater as a permanent home for Opera.   


 (A story is circulating that the controversial abrupt closure of its previous home at El Cabildo was not due to the political problems that most critics assumed but may have resulted from complaints by two important ambassadors whose residences are nearby and were disturbed by the noise level and public commotion late into the evening.  In any case, by 2019 they regained access to El Cabildo, and the ambassadors' residences were moved.)



Hatuey:  Memory of Fire

Music by Frank London • Libretto by Elise Thoron

Opera de la Calle performed the first production of this opera in 2017 directed by Ulises Aquino, video below.  For background, read the introduction here by the librettist.   https://elisethoron.com/hatuey.html
