A product of the highly-acclaimed, living American composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez, Tango
is a one-act comic concert operetta composed for a single tenor role,
sung by Young Artist Matthew Newlin, and a chamber ensemble. Designed to
present three consecutive scenes without pause, the action follows the
protagonist at the height of the tango craze in 1913 as he embodies
different characters to convey the varied perceptions of this seductive
and polarizing dance.
Set in Argentina, the surreal plot of Argentinian composer Ástor Piazzolla’s María de Buenos Aires
is the tale of ill-fated María, who was said to be born “on a day when
God was drunk.” Living in the poor suburbs of Buenos Aires, María is
seduced by the sounds of tango, becoming a streetwalker, and falling
victim to a tragic death. The audience then follows María’s Shadow as it
walks the city’s Underground, which has become her hell.
