Juan Perón and his second wife, Eva Duarte, were the most influential people in 20th Century Argentine politics. He came to power in 1946 pushing a populist agenda that made him very successful. Eva, a natural politician, surpassed him in charisma. When she died of cancer in her early 30's, her image became mythical. To this day, politicians across the spectrum try to wrap themselves in her flag in order to succeed. Argentina has lived with this myth for seven long decades. This story is about Perón's third wife and running mate in the 1973 elections, Isabel.  She took over from him when he died in office in 1974, and tried to fashion herself after Evita, with the aid of a close confidant rumored to be a warlock. It didn't work out. In 1976 the military coup that ousted her opened the gates of hell, and through them thirty thousand souls were lost. Raw ambition, black magic in the presidential palace, and the ghosts of Perón and Evita intertwine in this tale, told by someone who witnessed those tumultuous times first hand, set to a ravishing, propulsive score by Argentinean composer Carlos Franzetti. The San Francisco Camerata's recording of Corpus Evita for Amapola Records, conducted by Maestro Moscovich was nominated for a Grammy in 2005.
