FGO will present the regional premiere of Before Night Falls as part of its "Made for Miami" series. "Made for Miami" is designed to produce one opera each season that is both relevant to and representative of the South Florida community. Based on the memoir of Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas,the story follows Arenas' life from childhood poverty in the Cuban countryside,to his emigration to the US in the 1980 Mariel boatlift, and his last decade suffering from AIDS. Persecuted by the Castro regime as a dissident writer and homosexual,the opera centers on his trials and tribulations as a political prisoner forced to smuggle his manuscripts abroad for publication. The piece has numerous ties to South Florida's diverse communities; Miami comprises the nation's largest Cuban exile enclave, as well as the highest population of persons living with HIV/AIDS,and a significant LGBT community. Complementary education,outreach,and community programs will be developed to highlight these connections. FGO has long sought ways to complement its mainstage work with programs that extend beyond the walls of the opera house by seeking new opportunities for community engagement and collaboration. The 2016- 17 season will continue this tradition through the Community Conversation Series that accompanies the "Made for Miami" piece chosen for each season.In 2017,the series will align with the regional premiere of Before Night Falls by Jorge Martin. Programming is being designed with the following South Florida populations/social issues in mind: - The Cuban exile population - Cuban exiles who fled in a mass exodus - Immigrants and exiles who fled their country due to persecution - LGBT Community - HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness Some proposed activities and events include: Meet the Composer: Jorge Martin The composer of Before Night Falls,Jorge Martin,has strong, significant ties to South Florida. FGO has created a series of events throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties,allowing the community an in- depth glimpse into the composer of this poignant piece.The series will be comprised of three events, one of which will take place on Miami Beach,each focusing on one specific topic, in which Martin will be interviewed.Topics include: - Personal Experience: Leaving Cuba,growing up in exile - Subject Matter: Why this work,why Arenas? - Compositional Style: Creating opera in the twenty-first century The series will also feature excerpts from Before Night Falls, sung by members of FGO's Young Artist Program. Film Screening of Before Night Falls In partnership with 0 Cinema,FGO will host a screening of the 2000 film,Before Night Falls, starring Javier Bardem, Olivier Martinez,and Johnny Depp.The film, like the opera, are based on the autobiography of the Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas. FLORIDA iRAN D opera Miami-Beach Cultural Affairs Program: 2016 - 17 Grant Agreement The screening will be followed by a cocktail reception featuring performances by FGO's Young Artists. Spoken and Sung In partnership with local theater troupe What if Works,FGO will present passages from Arenas' autobiography that correlate to excerpts from the opera. This program will feature alumnae from FIU's Department of Theater, local actors, and FGO's Young Artists in a unique representation of the underlying themes of Before Night Falls at FlU's Miami Beach Urban Studios. Additional programming highlighting connections to the LGBT community and HIV/AIDS awareness are currently in development with a variety of possible collaborators and partners. Dates,times, locations, and artists for all of these events are currently being solidified with partners. The mainstage production of Before Night Falls will play at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County/Ziff Ballet Opera House on March 18,19,21,24,25 2017.All Miami Beach outreach events and programs will take place between January and March 2017.
