Daniel Catán/ Libretto by Marcela Fuentes-Berain
Florencia en el Amazonas

December 9, 2023 at 1pm

Inspired by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, Mexican composer Daniel Catán’s 1996 opera tells the enchanting story of a Brazilian opera diva who returns to her homeland to perform at the legendary opera house of Manaus—and to search for her lost lover who has vanished into the jungle.

This Met premiere stars soprano Ailyn Pérez as Florencia Grimaldi for this spellbinding new production by Mary Zimmerman.

A distinguished ensemble of artists portray the diva’s fellow travelers on the river boat to
Manaus including soprano Gabriella Reyes as the journalist Rosalba, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as the ship’s captain, baritone Mattia Olivieri as his enigmatic first mate, tenor Mario Chang as the captain’s nephew Arcadio, and mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola Herrera and baritone Michael Chioldi as the feuding couple Paula and Álvaro.

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin brings the mysterious and magical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage.
