When you think about tango, probably 90 percent of the tango music that reverberates in your head was composed by him. He is Argentina's "King of Tango," Astor PIAZZOLLA, and this year is the centennial of his birth. PIAZZOLLA rearranged popular street dance music into exquisite music that could be enjoyed by scholars and lay-people alike. His music has also proved to be generational; even classical music superstars such as Yo-Yo MA, Gidon KREMER, and Daniel BARENBOIM have not been immune to its charm and have all paid homage to PIAZZOLLA by publishing tango albums. This year, Weiwuying and Hong Kong's City Contemporary Dance Company have joined forces to perform PIAZZOLLA's "María de Buenos Aires,"—the world's first tango opera and a novelty at the time of its writing. A hyper-realistic narrative style is used to depict the life and death experiences of the heroine María in the Argentine capital, which acts as a metaphor for this South American country's religious and historical links to Western culture. As soon as the sound of the accordion in the overture takes off, audience members' established ideas about "Western opera" are sure to be overturned. In an instant, Weiwuying's Recital Hall is transformed into a tiny South American tavern, giving way to a production full of irresistible and tantalizing charm!
