    The Phoenix Symphony presents Spotlight Composer Osvaldo Golijov's spectacular one-act opera Ainadamar: Fountain of Tears in concert. The Arizona premiere of the Grammy Award-winning work features members of the original cast reprising their roles, including legendary soprano Dawn Upshaw as Margarita Xirgu and mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor as Federico García Lorca. The opera will be sung in Spanish with English surtitles projected above the stage during the performance. Ainadamar tells the story of martyred Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca and his actress muse Margarita Xirgu during the Fascist regime. With arias of languid beauty and melodies that shiver with sensual intervals, the sun-drenched nostalgia and soul of Spain come to life in exuberant outbursts of rhythm and orchestral color.
