Opera San Antonio opens its 10th anniversary season with the mariachi opera, Cruzar la Cara de la Luna (To Cross the Face of the Moon). Producing this show achieves several important "firsts" for OSA: the first Spanish language opera and the first contemporary opera performed on The Tobin Center's H-E-B stage.
The opera was commissioned by Houston Grand Opera in 2010. The music is by José "Pepe" Martínez of the world famous Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán with lyrics by Broadway Director Leonard Foglia, who joins many of the original HGO cast members for the OSA production.
Cruzar weaves together the powerful story of a Mexican American family divided by borders yet united by heritage. OSA’s production features the nationally acclaimed Mariachi Campanas de America onstage. The opera is an experience where music and story converge in a celebration of familial bonds and enduring traditions.
