While this event is open to the public, you must pre-register in order to gain access in person. No walk-ups will be allowed at Longy for performances.

Content and Sensory Sensitivity Advisory:
This performance includes a depiction of murder by firearm and a loud sound cue of a gunshot, which may be potentially triggering and upsetting for audience members.

Longy School of Music presents an imaginative and unusual double bill of De Falla’s fiery ballet suite El Amor Brujoand Piazzolla’s surrealist tango opera, Maria de Buenos Aires.

This production, directed by Christopher Sierra and conducted by Ryan Turner, examines how the most vulnerable women in society face and deal with adversity.

This rare double bill explores unexpected parallels between the two pieces, including themes of light versus darkness, stepping into one’s power, surrendering to fate, and how one’s spiritual and religious identity can be challenged by trials and tribulations.
