“…an intensely disturbing operatic investigation into sex trafficking”
Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times Music Critic

Cuatro Corridos is a chamber opera that addresses one of the most critical human rights issues of our time: human trafficking.

Based on true events, Cuatro Corridos (“Four Corridors”) tells the story of four young women whose lives are scarred by human trafficking. This chamber opera represents an unprecedented collaboration of internationally acclaimed creative composers, musicians and writers. Led by Grammy Award-winning soprano Susan Narucki and noted Mexican author Jorge Volpi, the fully-staged production features original music by four young distinguished composers, each of whom gives voice to one of the four female characters by presenting one act in the hour-long drama.
