Ainadamar Tickets

Welcome to an insider’s guide to Ainadamar, the groundbreaking opera by Osvaldo Golijov. Born in 1960 in La Plata, Argentina, Golijov is a MacArthur Fellow celebrated for blending Jewish, Latin American, Arab, and classical traditions into vibrant, emotionally charged works. Ainadamar, first staged in 2003, weaves a triadic visual and musical tapestry about the poet Federico García Lorca and the remarkable Margarita Xirgu. The piece combines a vivid libretto by David Henry Hwang with Golijov’s signature sound—where flamenco, klezmer, tango, Sephardic chant, and contemporary orchestration meet.

Key moments include the 2003 Tanglewood premiere and the 2005 Santa Fe revision, with the Ainadamar recording earning two Grammys in 2007 for Best Opera Recording and Best Classical Contemporary Composition. If you’re in or near Los Angeles, the LA Opera company premiere runs from Apr 26 to May 18, 2025 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, offering a fresh look at this acclaimed work.
