Tres Minutos - An Immigration Opera

Presented by Opera Cultura

Tres Minutos - Inspired by a real program that reunites families separated by immigration policies at the U.S. - Mexico Border, but only for three minutes, Tres minutos imagines the story of Diego and Nila, a brother and sister who share DNA but not citizenship. When Diego is deported, leaving Nila behind, questions of identity, duty, and belonging threaten to consume them. Composed by Nicolas Benavides and libretto by Marella Martin Koch.

Prior to the presentation of Tres Minutos, we'll be presenting excerpts of Héctor Armienta's new opera, La Muerte.
