El Payador in "María de Buenos Aires" by Astor Piazzola


  • Madison Opera - Capitol Theater 201 State Street Madison, WI, 53703 United States (map)

Born in the slums of Buenos Aires “one day when God was drunk,” María turns to the city in a desperate quest for freedom, falling in love with its tango rhythms. A dark, surreal story told in song and dance, this “tango opera” by the legendary Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla has been widely acclaimed since its 1968 premiere.

Don’t miss this evening of theatrical exhilaration, stunning music, and extraordinary dancing, featuring Kanopy Dance.
