Opera Fort Collins proudly presents a groundbreaking performance: "La Vida Breve and Other Spanish Gems." For the first time in our 44-year history, we are thrilled to showcase an all-Spanish program. The evening will be a vibrant exploration of Latin American music, starting with a diverse collection of Spanish songs. This immersive experience will be presented through a unique English-Spanish bilingual narrative. The highlight of the evening will be the performance of Manuel de Falla's intense, tragic opera, "La Vida Breve" (The Brief Life). This opera encapsulates the essence of a telenovela, with its intricate web of passion, desire, betrayal, and tragedy, all infused with an unmistakable Spanish flair.
