LaChiusa brings a musical voice to Federico García Lorca’s final 1936 masterpiece, The House of Bernarda Alba, through pulsing castanets, trilling Spanish guitars and resounding rhythmic stomps.

Bernarda Alba

The Pennsylvania State University

Before all of that, Graciela Daniele was a young girl growing up in 1940s Buenos Aires in the shadow of the Perón regime. THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA is her coming-of-age story in the form of a gorgeous, tango-infused new musical written by her longtime collaborator and friend, Michael John LaChiusa (Marie Christine, Bernarda Alba). With wit and wisdom, the show follows Anuncia (Priscilla Lopez) as she tends the garden of her country house and reflects on her life, looking back on her girlhood in Argentina and paying homage to the family of women whose love and sacrifices allowed her to become the legendary creative force she is today.
