about

after Amor de Don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín by Federico García Lorca
3 voices and piano
About 40 minutes.

Don Perlimplín has a young wife who's smitten by a mysterious stranger in a red cloak. Will Belisa be unfaithful? And why is Perlimplín so excited? With music that is a reincarnation of the bel canto style and a production that challenges ideas of love and lust, gender and identity, The Music Troupe presents a true chamber opera which is both tragic and surreal.

The Cloak and Dagger Affair is a 'danced opera' whose harmonic sound-world and busy rhythms take their cue from the sonatas of Scarlatti which Lorca wanted as incidental music to his play. Some adult content. In English and Spanish.
