Florencia en el Amazonas: JustinTime

Inspired by the writings of the great Gabriel García Márquez (One Hundred Years of Solitude), Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas is one of the most lyrical and melodious new operas of the past 30 years, embraced by critics and audiences everywhere it has played. This story of a Brazilian soprano’s emotionally fraught journey back to her homeland offers a brilliant display of magical realism—and pushes the operatic form to new limits of imagination. To portray a great artist, FGO has engaged a great artist—Ana María Martínez, acclaimed as one of the most beloved Butterflys in recent Metropolitan Opera history.
