Hola amigos! Daniel Frost Hernández here from Opera Hispánica. Thank you all who came out to support us at El Museo del Barrio on Cinco de Mayo.
As you can see from the pictures below we had a wonderful turnout and even though we began planning this event over a year ago, it seems like yesterday when I met with El Museo to begin discussing the need for a collaboration.
For many audience members, this was their first time attending a performance of this kind and we are thrilled to have attracted so many new opera fans.
A highlight of the program was the opportunity to perform the musical works of Mexican composer and Juilliard faculty member Samuel Zyman- stay tuned for a future post on him in our Composer’s Spotlight. One of the goals of Opera Hispánica is to present works by current composers. We are honored that Maestro Zyman was able to attend the show and that the public was able to witness his beautiful work come to life on the stage.
Immediately following the performance, guests were escorted to a “Meet the Artists” reception where attendees included government officials, community leaders, and renowned artists. It was a lovely way to end the evening and hopefully, the first of many more performances in El Barrio! Que viva la ópera!
