Zorro Armienta

Commissioned by Opera Southwest and Ft. Worth Opera, this will be the fully-staged & orchestrated world premiere of the opera. Opera Southwest welcome back composer Héctor Armienta, whose operatic adaptation of Bless Me, Ultima was a smash hit in 2018 at Opera Southwest.

Based on and inspired by the masked vigilante of pulp fiction fame, Zorro is a swashbuckling adventure opera. Set in Los Angeles when it was still a colony of Spain, this re-telling of the Zorro legend naturally follows Diego de la Vega, esteemed swordsman and Spanish nobleman, as he fights for the poor and enslaved. Filled with all the romance, swordplay and humor that is a trademark of the Zorro universe.

Zorro by Armienta, Sun 30 Oct 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Octavio Cardenas,, Conductor Anthony Barrese, National Hispanic Cultural Center, Albuquerque, United States
