Quinteto Latino: ¡Chicanísima!

Join Quinteto Latino for an opera that chronicles the life and work of Olga Talamante, a legendary Chicanx leader and LGBTQ+ activist. The opera explores her journey from working the garlic fields as a child in Gilroy, California, to her decades of activism in the US, Mexico, and Argentina, where she became a political prisoner. Ultimately, Olga frees herself from the psychological hold of her captors and releases her heart from 40 years of suppressing the memories of violence perpetrated against her. She finally finds peace and in the process of healing, the love of her life, Vola.
