What if salvation were only a passing shadow? With EL CAMINANTE, the Boston University Opera Institute unearths a one-act operatic gem by Cuban composer Eduardo Sánchez de Fuentes: a microcosm where the boundary between miracle and mirage dissolves into incense and silk. A paraplegic girl is touched – and healed – by a dazzling stranger who promises everything, then vanishes like dew at sunrise. The languid music drapes the seduction in an ambiguous glow, suspended between impulse and sublime transfiguration. Under the baton of William Lumpkin, this early 20th century work is given new life and reintroduced as an essential chapter in Latin American musical heritage — one that deserves to be heard, studied, and performed.
