Juana Inés and Frau Haydn in Trouble: An operatic double bill in Coral Gables Sat, Sep 26 | Coral Gables Congregational United Churc Experience Sor Juana and Frau Haydn in Trouble in Coral Gables Congregational Church. The Opera Atelier brings its newest double bill of original works to the historic Coral Gables Congregational Church, transforming this landmark space into a sanctuary of music, poetry, and contemporary opera. The evening features Sor Juana Inés, an interdisciplinary creation inspired by the extraordinary life of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the 17th‑century Mexican scholar whose brilliance defied the boundaries of her era. Often regarded as Spanish America’s first feminist, Sor Juana’s writings—crafted within the confines of a convent cell—continue to illuminate the intellectual and artistic landscape of the Spanish‑speaking world. Paired with this work is Frau Haydn i Trouble, a chamber opera by Daniel Daroca, produced by The Opera Atelier. With humor, sensitivity, and a contemporary lens, the piece explores the inner conflicts and creative tensions of its characters, offering a vivid contrast to the historical depth of Sor Juana’s story.

About the event The Opera Atelier presents a double bill of original works that illuminate the lives, struggles, and creative brilliance of historical figures who transcended the limitations of their time. At the heart of this program is Sor Juana Inés, an original interdisciplinary creation by The Opera Atelier inspired by the life and legacy of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the extraordinary self-taught intellectual of 17th‑century Mexico. Widely regarded as Spanish America’s first feminist, Sor Juana defied the constraints imposed by colonial and ecclesiastical authority, producing some of the most profound writing in the Spanish language — all from within the confines of a nun’s cell. Her voice continues to resonate as one of the most powerful and enduring in the literary canon. The evening also features Frau Haydn i Trouble, a chamber opera by Daniel Daroca, produced by The Opera Atelier. This work explores, with wit and emotional nuance, the inner worlds, creative tensions, and personal dilemmas of its protagonists. Together, these two operas form a compelling double bill that reflects The Opera Atelier’s commitment to contemporary creation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the exploration of narratives that illuminate the human experience. This event is made possible with the generous support of the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Division of Arts, and the City of Miami Beach.
