DESCRIPTION:Commissioned and performed by Quinteto Latino, composer Carla Lucero's 
 opera chronicles the life and work of legendary Chicanx leader and LGBTQ+ 
 activist, Olga Talamante. The opera explores her journey from working the 
 garlic fields as a child in Gilroy, California, to her decades of activism 
 in the US, Mexico, and in Argentina, where she became a political prisoner. 
 Ultimately, Olga frees herself from the psychological hold of her captors 
 and releases her heart from 40 years of suppressing the memories of 
 violence perpetrated against her. She finally finds peace, and in the 
 process of healing, the love of her life, Vola. Soprano Alexa Anderson, 
 tenor Eric Levintow, and mezzo-soprano Jessica Gonzalez-Rodriguez make up 
 the cast for the premiere of this important work.\n\nThe Chicanisima! Opera 
 is part of Chicana Latina Foundation's Voices of Resistance 
 series.\n\nThere will be a panel discussion after the Opera followed by a 
 reception in the lobby with light refreshments and an opportunity to meet 
 the musicians, singers, Carla, and Olga.\n\n$25 - $100.\n
