OLP at the North Carolina Opera’s first-ever Spanish opera!

Orgullo Latinx Pride youth group had an unforgettable experience last night at the North Carolina Opera’s first-ever Spanish opera! Thanks to the NC Department of Natural & Cultural Resources, 16 youth members were able to attend for free.

For all of the participants, it was their first time witnessing a performance like this. They embarked on a magical journey

through the Amazon with opera legend Florencia Grimaldi.

The story follows Grimaldi as she travels incognito by steamboat through the enchanted rainforest in search of her long-lost love. Facing storms and a cholera outbreak, she and her fellow passengers are drawn deeper into the Amazon , where fantasy and reality blend, testing their hopes and dreams.

The group thoroughly enjoyed watching the talented singers performing in Spanish—their powerful and beautiful voices made the experience even more special. It was a unique and exciting evening for everyone!
