The U.S./Mexico border isn’t the only obstacle dividing the Velásquez family. Cruzar la Cara de la Luna tells the story of a multigenerational Mexican American family separated by countries, cultures, and consequences in search of new possibilities. As their grandfather journeys back in time to reflect on his life in his final days, the members of the Velásquez family must make their own migration across land and through memory, searching their hearts to discover where they belong. Richly interwoven with mariachi tradition and a newly arranged orchestration, this modern story reminds us that family knows no borders. 

Music by José “Pepe” Martínez
Lyrics by Leonard Foglia and José “Pepe” Martínez

So hot, he’ll burn.
Don Giovanni is an egotistical and infamous womanizer, brazen in his shameless seductions. But his betrayals soon catch up to him when divine retribution exacts the ultimate price. Set in the 1930s, this new production centers the women who cross paths with Don Giovanni and ultimately deliver his grim fate. Mozart’s sharp and otherworldly opera seamlessly blends dark comedy with biting social commentary, all set to some of opera’s most stirring music.

Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte
Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage.

This production contains mature content, including a simulated sexual assault which occurs during the Overture and depictions of a consensual sadomasochistic relationship which includes bondage. A late seating opportunity will be provided after the Overture for patrons who do not wish to view this scene. The production also contains theatrical haze, recorded gunshots, and simulated cigarette smoking. Recommended ages 14+
