Balseros Opera Brings Cuban Rafters’ Quest for Freedom
The Miami Beach stage presents Balseros, an opera about Cuban rafters seeking freedom. Based on survivor accounts, the production blends Spanish narration with a multilingual cast, aiming to humanize those who braved the Florida Straits amid storms, dehydration, and long odds. The project rallied regional institutions and sponsors to raise six hundred thousand dollars, with touring expected in the fall.
