Ghost Light Episode 11.211.2 – Héctor Armienta’s Zorro

You’ve seen him in the movies, you’ve read about him in graphic novels, and you’ve known about his exploits all your life. Héctor Armienta’s 2022 opera Zorro brings this legendary hero of old California to the stage with a unique blend of Mexican musical influences and operatic lyricism. In our first opera prelude of the season, Jeff and Carol explore the legend of Zorro and discuss how Armienta’s version goes beyond the mask to tell a story of love, resistance, and revolution.
