Bless Me, Ultime, now is an opera!

FEBRUARY 18-25

National Hispanic Cultural Center

1701 4th Street Southwest, Albuquerque, NM  87102

Bless Me, Ultima – the most famous New Mexican novel, now is an opera.

Opera Southwest, along with the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque and Opera Cultura in California, is thrilled to have commissioned an opera based on Rudolfo Anaya’s best-selling novel Bless Me, Ultima. The composer, Héctor Armienta, has worked with Mr. Anaya on the libretto and the resulting piece will be an historic event.
