Astor Piazzolla's short opera tells the poignant story of tango, represented in the person of María, born in the slum city suburbs "on a day when God was drunk", transported to the city nightspots, condemned to death, "dragging her guilts, as a female and a shadow, bled by seven knives of sun", and, eventually, reborn. Mr McFall's Chamber present a concert performance of this masterpiece with a backdrop of film by Argentine director, Geraldine Comte, and with a star cast of special guests and a speaking-chorus. Our new release on Delphian Records, La Pasionaria, will be launched at this event.
