The Tin Angel Opera, written to a libretto by Paul Pines and based on his widely acclaimed novel of the same name, with music by award-winning composer Daniel Asia, is set in the edgy world of a NYC downtown Bowery jazz club, where a unique cast of characters play out their dramatic story as a call for redemption.
The inspiration behind the story is The Tin Palace, the real-life New York City’s jazz mecca of the 70s, founded by Paul Pines in 1973.

Join us for a new tango-infused version of Gluck’s classic opera, set in a cabaret in Buenos Aires in the 1930s.
In this version of Gluck’s 1762 opera Orfeo ed Euridice, the characters are transported to a carnival celebration in Buenos Aires in the 1930s and the score is orchestrated for a tango quartet. Gluck’s re-orchestrated arias are the musical focus, while the recitatives, which traditionally provide dramatic context, are replaced by poetic texts written by great tango lyricists such as José María Contursi and Emilio Fresedo.
Generación Perdida is a monodrama-opera composed by Mexican composer Jorge Sosa, based on the book by Mexican-Colombian poet Javier Moro Hernandez (Ediciones Periféricas). The piece explores the humanitarian crisis affecting Mexico and Latin America, where kidnapping and forced disappearances have profoundly impacted countless communities over the past decade. It reflects on the complex realities of violence in the region and the broader social and political forces at play.
