Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 March 2025

Teatro Argentino de La Plata, Argentina

Opera for soloists, choir and orchestra, by Luis Bacalov, directed by Carlos Branca.

Estaba la Madre, the first version of which was commissioned in 2004 by Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, is a secular “Stabat Mater”, which through four stories traces the pain and courage of the mothers of Plaza de Mayo in search of their missing children: the drama of mothers who have lost their children and their subsequent struggle to obtain truth and justice.
