A poet in love with the moon.

Before Night Falls by Jorge Martín, is based on the autobiography of Reinaldo Arenas, a gay Cuban novelist, poet, playwright, political dissident and prisoner. The story follows his childhood in Cuba, his time in prison and his escape to the United States. Arenas is determined to stave off death to finish his work “Before Night Falls”.

This opera will be produced in collaboration with the New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus (NMGMC). They have been an empowering voice in Albuquerque since 1981, with their mission to reduce intolerance through musical performance.
