Opera Hispánica to World Premiere Rodolfo Zanetti’s ‘Las Maldiciones’
By David SalazarOpera Hispánica will present the world premiere of “Las Maldiciones” on March 1, 2026.
The new chamber opera with lyrics and music by Latin GRAMMY-winning Argentine composer and bandoneon player Rodolfo Zanetti will take place at the National Sawdust in Brooklyn. The performance is part of the company’s Veintiún-OH, 21st Century Chamber Opera Series, and is presented in collaboration with National Sawdust and New York City Opera.
The composer will perform at the bandoneon alongside Colombian soprano Sasha Gutiérrez and the Arya String Quartet. The performance will be conducted by Jorge Parodi, Opera Hispánica’s General and Artistic Director.
The work explores the dark emotional terrain of unrequited love and traces the arc of a scorned soul that ultimately turns its own daggers inward before arriving at a brief, hard-won moment of peace.
