Commissioned to celebrate the Albuquerque's 300th birthday, TIME AND AGAIN BARELAS blends the fantastic with the historic, using the changing backdrop of one of Albuquerque's oldest neighborhoods. The opera begins with a real event—the murder of Don Barelas in 1680. His daughter, Marcelina, is the tale's heroine, alongside her love, Don Ignacio--who, it turns out, killed her father. A curse dooms them to live forever, and, Albuquerque's tumultuous history becomes a part of Marcelina and Ignacio's relationship as it moves over 300 years of past and 200 years into the future
MIGUEL DEL AGUILA
Two-time Grammy nominated American composer, Miguel del Aguila's prolific music output and distinctive musical style has placed him among the most highly regarded composers of his generation.
He came to the attention of European audiences in 1983 when his Messages premiered at Musikvereinssaal, the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Soon performances at Konzerthaus and Bösendorfer Hall followed, and in 1987 Peermusic published his first works. 1988 KKM-Austria and Albany Records released his first CDs. During the 90's Aguila's list of works grew as did the number of his recordings, performances and honors which by 1995 included the prestigious Kennedy Center Friedheim Award among many others. After residing in Vienna for ten years, Aguila returned to California in 1992, where soon Los Angeles Times critics welcomed him as "One of the West Coast's most promising and enterprising young composers." He was Resident Composer at Chautauqua Institution until 2004 and Composer in Residence with New Mexico Symphony 2005- 2006. By 2007 nearly fifty first rate orchestras and hundreds of ensembles and soloists were regularly commissioning and performing his works worldwide. Currently Aguila's catalogue riches over a hundred works for all genres, most published by Peermusic Classical and available on twenty-six CDs released by Naxos, Bridge, Dorian, Telarc, New Albion, Albany, and others. Performances and broadcasts of his works take place virtually every day of the year somewhere in the world. Recently Aguila received two Grammy nominations for CD Salon Buenos Aires and for his work Clocks as well as a MTC Magnum Opus Commission for The Fall of Cuzco. He is published by Peermusic Classical
