María de Buenos Aires . Astor Piazzolla
undisputably piazzolla's master piece and only once in decades performed in belgium, this operita is in many ways a unique production.
'maría de buenos aires' - with lyrics by horacio ferrér - was premiered at the sala planeta in buenos aires in 1968.
it is a surreal story about a young woman – maría - who lives in the slums of buenos aires and is known to ‘be born when god was drunk..
with a curse in her voice’. one night, in an obscure bar in the city center, she is being seduced by the sounds of the tango music, and is killed
by some underground figures. after her death, her shadow wanders through the streets of buenos aires.
