The opera Magdalena was first written by Heitor Villa-Lobos for Broadway in 1947 and will be performed at the Theatro Municipal in São Paulo for the very first time, as part of the celebrations for the 90th anniversary of the Semana de Arte Moderna de ’22 or ‘Week of Modern Art of ’22’, that became legendary after a group of artists, musicians and writers attempted to make a clear break from the nation’s creative past.
The two-act tragicomic opera, staged by Paris's Théatre du Châtelet, portrays the struggle of Indians against their colonisers. Its music will be performed by the Orquestra Municipal de São Paulo, with Luís Gustavo Petri conducting.
