2025 Ordway Inside Out: MN Opera presents *Cruzar a la Cara de la Luna*

MN Opera’s production of "Cruzar la Cara de la Luna" tells the story of a multigenerational Mexican American family separated by countries, cultures, and consequences in search of new possibilities. As their grandfather journeys back in time to reflect on his life in his final days, the members of the Velásquez family must make their own migration across land and through memory, searching their hearts to discover where they belong. Richly interwoven with mariachi tradition and a newly-arranged orchestration, this modern story reminds us that family knows no borders. The production is sung and spoken in Spanish and English, with English captions.

(rain date: Sunday, August 10 | 7 p.m.)
