Opera Columbus will present Maria De Buenos Aires (February 24 and 26). This is the first Spanish opera to be performed in Columbus. The sensual rhythms of tango combine with operatic passions in Maria de Buenos Aires. Astor Piazzolla‘s revolutionary nuevo tango score and Horacio Ferrer‘s mesmerizing poetry unite the ethereal realm with the physical world to portray the spiritual journey of the opera’s heroine with costumes by Gerardo Encinas and choreography by Jeffrey Goltiao. Maria de Buenos Aires will be sung in Spanish with English/Spanish supertitles.
Jeweled with some of opera’s most beloved arias, Rigoletto (March 31 and April 1) contains all of the thrills and pathos that make grand opera famous. This marks Rigoletto‘s return in Columbus after 20 years in grand scale collaboration between Columbus Symphony and Opera Columbus at the beloved Ohio Theatre. This opera will be sung in Italian with English supertitles.
