NHCC & OSW present Rudolfo Anaya’s The Farolitos of Christmas
Music & Libretto / Héctor Armienta
Opera Southwest and the National Hispanic Cultural Center present a Heartwarming Holiday Opera for All Ages with Héctor Armienta’s The Farolitos of Christmas.
A new opera for families and children based on Rudolfo Anaya’s beloved children’s book, The Farolitos of Christmas is a heartwarming holiday opera about love, tradition, and the quiet power of invention. Luz’s father is away at war. Her grandfather is too sick to build the luminarias. So Luz finds a new way to light the path on Christmas Eve, one that will become tradition.
With music and libretto by Héctor Armienta (Zorro, Bless Me, Ultima) and stage direction by John de los Santos (Frida, Before Night Falls), this luminous one-act opera captures the spirit of New Mexico in winter: flickering light, faith, and family that endures.
Running time: Approx 1 hour
$25, $35, $45, $55, & $65 with discounts for groups of 8 or more, anyone 30 years old and younger
