Florentine Stages Piazzolla’s Fantastical Opera

Accompanied by musicians from the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Florentine Opera will give performances of Astor Piazzolla’s sensual María de Buenos Aires on May 17-19. Composed in 1968 with a libretto by Horacio Ferrer, the fantastical opera tells the story of a girl swallowed up by the city, only to haunt it after death. Catalina Cuervo stars in the title role.
