Florencia en el Amazonas

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music: Opera Institute and School of Theatre present Florencia en el Amazonas with music by Daniel Catán and libretto by Marcela Fuentes-Berain. William Lumpkin conducts this opera steeped in the beautiful style of magical realism, with stage direction by Amy Hutchison.

The opera follows the journey of the legendary diva Florencia Grimaldi and her fellow passengers on a boat ride down the Amazon. As they travel through the magical rainforest toward their destination, the opera house in Manaus, each passenger harbors a secret hope of what the trip will bring.

This is a co-production between BU School of Music's Opera Institute and the School of Theatre. Each spring, the BU and Boston arts communities and beyond are invited to Booth Theatre to experience the exceptional talent of the students in the College of Fine Arts in this unique collaboration. Tickets now available.
