| |  Pittsburgh Opera and City of Asylum are partnering together to explore the rich traditions of global operatic music and present an evening of Spanish-language poetry and song.
The evening’s music is a suite of songs composed by Federico García Lorca and inspired by his original poetry. Music performed by the Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artists and poetry read by Jorge Olivera Castillo, a writer-in-residence at City of Asylum and a Research Scholar at the Global Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh. García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director and achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting of mostly poets who introduced the tenets of European movements. He was murdered by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His remains have never been found. | | |  Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artists: These stellar artists were hand-selected after a grueling and competitive application and audition process. During the course of the 2021-22 season, these talented individuals will perform the principal and supporting roles in the fully-staged Pittsburgh Opera productions as well as special community programs just like this. | | | At City of Asylum, we want our events to be welcoming and accessible to all people.
All floors of Alphabet City are wheelchair accessible and there is a reserved parking spot. Thanks to the generous support of RAD, we also have hearing assistive systems available for all programs, by advance request.
If you have questions or are in need of accommodations, please contact us. | | | | |
