María de Buenos Aires represents the New World, new music, tango nuevo , and a new type of opera – tango operita , whose musical foundation is the insane rhythm and mood of the tango, a dance born on the southeastern coast of Latin America. The folk tango argentino had its bard, Astor Piazzolla, a composer-poet who created a new style of presenting this passionate dance, drawing inspiration from Stravinsky, Bartók, and classical musical forms, but also jazz and electronic rock – elevating tango to the status of a musical art.
