Singer

Dolores is an opera that floats between the real and the imagined, memory and nightmare. Composer Nicolás Lell Benavides and librettist Marella Martin Koch stitch history into something fragile and feverish. There are sacred chants, electric guitar pulsations, bossa nova hallucinations.

Labor icon Dolores Huerta helped build a union out of dust and righteous anger. She walked the fields, held the line, made the calls. With César Chávez and Larry Itliong, she shaped a movement that reached the ears of presidents but never lost sight of the people bent over the vines. The work didn’t stop. It never does. That’s the cost of believing another world is possible.

The new opera La Callas celebrates Maria Callas, one of the most dynamic, influential, and beloved opera singers of the 20th century. She was an artist who revitalized her art form, brought new audiences to opera houses around the world, and left an indelible mark on the world. A strong-willed woman at a time that was cruel to such women, the charismatic diva was torn between her two greatest passions: opera and her love affair with the wealthy and powerful Aristotle Onassis, suffering in the throes of love, desire, conflict, and betrayal. Award-winning composer Clint Borzoni's lush and melodic music evokes the passion and drama of Maria Callas's legendary life and career.
