BLOOD WEDDING

MANUEL BUSTO

TEATRO REAL. Main Auditorium

A new interpretation of Federico García Lorca's text makes the premiere of Bodas de sangre a major musical event. Manuel Busto's new opera is based on one of Lorca's most famous tragedies in Spanish theatre. This previously unperformed work is staged by Bárbara Lluch and conducted by the composer.

Life and death are the principal themes of this great drama, approached through an arcane, ancestral world of myths, legends and landscapes. They lead the reader into dark passions that give rise to jealousy, pursuit and a tragic end: death. Love emerges as the only force capable of overcoming it.

Opera in two acts. Music by Manuel Busto (1987). Libretto by Manuel Busto, based on the play of the same name (1932) by Federico García Lorca.

Teatro Real production, co-produced with Teatro de la Maestranza, Seville.

Resident Chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro Real (Coro Intermezzo / Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid).
