Ainadamar (Fountain of Tears)

(Boosey & Hawkes Voice). Osvaldo Golijov's Grammy-winning one-act opera Ainadamar had its original premiere at Tanglewood in 2003, and was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in October-Novemmber 2024. Emerging from darkness, the mythic world of Federico Garcia Lorca comes into being. The sound of horses on the wind, the endless flow of the fountain of tears ("Ainadamar"), the trumpet call of wounded freedom, and the aspiration and determination that have been denied generation after generation echo across the hills.
