International Festival

The philosopher George Steiner stated a few years ago at a Conference at the Edinburgh Festival entire show must offer to your audience – and visitor – to which is used to seeing different aesthetic proposals. In that line, the International Festival of music and dance of Granada, on his 60th birthday, premiered Saturday in Spain an opera of great success since his baptism at Tanglewood in 2003 and later revised in Santa Fe two years later. Ainadamar, Osvaldo Golijov, occurs also in Granada and is focused on the murder of poet Federico Garcia Lorca 75 years ago, in the early stages of the Spanish Civil War. In fact the first Ballad of the opera is heard in a group of girls singing a few verses of Mariana Pineda, Garcia Lorca, those of Ay, what so sad in Granada that day to the stones did weep, seeing that Marianita dies in gallows by not declaring.
