OperaWire: Portland Opera to Go to Present ‘A Journey in Faith / Un Camino de Fé’

“A Journey of Faith/Un camino de Fe” is based on a true story and is a story within a story. It begins with a young Latina in high school who is convinced that her family’s story is not interesting to tell and is confronted by her older brother, who tells her about the emotional and difficult challenges her family faced as immigrants in the U.S.

Thanks to her brother’s inspiring stories, the girl’s pride in her family and her heritage is revived. In the opera, the family deals with poverty, rejection and disillusionment, finding their only support in the father’s vision and faith.

Performers include Emilia Barrera, Frank Convit, Jessica Blau, Mariana Rivera, and Zachary Lenox. Rebecca Stager will be at the piano with Liane Schirmer directing the production.
