Details
It’s wartime, and there are shortages of everything except poverty. Hardship reigns. Yet love is still possible. La Negra Ester is a tender, humorous portrait of the humble, ordinary people who never make it into history books. A dramatic musical written entirely in decasyllabic verse, it is the magnificient love song of those who have little reason for hope.
