ESTABA LA MADRE

Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 March 2025

At the Teatro Argentino in La Plata, Argentina

An 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 the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, is a secular Stabat Mater which, through four stories, recounts the pain and courage of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo as they search for their disappeared children: the tragedy of mothers who have lost their children and their subsequent struggle to obtain truth and justice.
