IN Series — Two World-Premiere Operas
The world premieres of Brian Arreola and Anna Deeny Morales’ new opera “Zavala-Zavala” and an IN Series commission setting the poems of Gabriela Mistral in her original Spanish, as well as in the luminescent English translations by Langston Hughes. “Zavala-Zavala” tells a story of family separation and survival at the U.S.-Mexican border—inspired by true events—with artists Elizabeth Mondragon, Judy Yannini and Alex Alburqueque. Angel-Gil Ordóñez leads the orchestras of Georgetown University and members of the PostClassical Ensemble.
