Ainadamar tells the story of martyred Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca and his actress muse Margarita Xirgu during the Fascist regime. With arias of languid beauty and melodies that shiver with sensual intervals, the sun-drenched nostalgia and soul of Spain come to life in exuberant outbursts of rhythm and orchestral color.

Ainadamar features world-renowned soprano Dawn Upshaw as she makes her Phoenix debut in this pivotal role, which she performed at the world premiere of this masterpiece at Tanglewood.
