Doña Clementina

High Society, Hidden Identities, and a Twist That’ll Knock Your Wig Off!
What happens when a genius like Boccherini, master of the most elegant chamber music ever written, decides to throw decorum out the window and write a zarzuela? You get Clementina—a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy packed with romance, mistaken identities, and one jaw-dropping revelation that will leave you gasping (and cackling). Two sisters play hard to get, their suitors get tangled in their schemes, and just when everything seems sorted—bam! The truth explodes in a finale so outrageous it could only happen in opera.

This is a night of pure theatrical magic, where the music sparkles, the comedy crackles, and the surprises keep coming. It’s got the wit of Figaro, the charm of Barber, and a fresh, lively staging that changes every twist and turn into gold. Whether you come for the comedy, the romance, or just the thrill of seeing a long-overdue masterpiece take its rightful place on stage, Clementina is the opera you cannot afford to miss at the National Hispanic Cultural Center Journal Theater.
