Robert Rodriguez’s

Cinnabar Theater presents the West Coast premiere of Robert Rodriguez’s re-envisioning of Mozart’s comic opera, "Bastien und Bastienne," in a Mexican setting.

"La Curandera" is a comic opera in one act for family audiences. A wonderful introduction, both to the intriguing and glorious world of opera and to the vibrant and ageless world of Mexican folklore.

Dallas composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez has created a charming and delightful score chock full of musical references to his home country, Mexico. Listen for the Mexican National Anthem, traditional folk tunes and much more.

A Curandera is a Mexican sorceress. She is one of many instances in Mexican folklore where the natural and the supernatural, the real and the magic, are treated as two sides of the same coin. Plus, lots of idiomatic expressions, popular proverbs from Mexico and Spain pop up throughout.
