Music of Remembrance: Tres Minutos
Ticket price TBA
Vanessa Isiguen, soprano (Nila)
José Rubio, baritone (Diego)
Nicolas Lell Benavides – Tres Minutos (world premiere)
Featuring the world premiere of Tres Minutos, the one-act opera that we’ve commissioned from composer Nicolas Benavides and librettist Marella Martin Koch. Soprano Vanessa Isiguen and baritone José Rubio star in the roles of Nila and Diego, a sister and brother who share family bonds but not citizenship. Allowed a brief supervised reunion at the US-Mexico border that separates them, they wrestle with questions of identity, duty, and belonging. The compelling work explores the intimate human dimensions of an important issue for our time.
The concert will take place at 5:30pm.
Tickets for the 2021-22 season will be available soon. Check here for updates: https://www.musicofremembrance.org/2020-2021-tickets
Because COVID-19 remains present in our communities, Music of Remembrance is planning live concerts in a cautious manner with safety protocols that include reduced seating capacity, audience distancing, masking, and vaccination requirements. Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our audience, performers and staff. Circumstances continue to evolve almost daily, and we’re prepared to make changes or take any additional steps that become necessary.
