The Truth About Camelia La Tejana

By John Farrell, Contributing Theater Review Writer
Camelia la Tejana – Only The Truth, which the Long Beach Opera is presenting at the Terrace Theatre of the Long Beach Performing Arts Center March 30 is not so much a work in progress, as it is an art project that is continually changing.

Even the title isn’t quite sure: it was calledUnicamente la Verdadin Long Beach Opera’s mailing. It has had several titles since it was developed, given its Mexican premier two years ago. This is the U.S. premier (though it was originally work-shopped in the United States). That’s an indication of how new the subject matter is: a narcocorrida and a Mexican tabloid article come together to make a statement about what is and what isn’t true against a background of illegal aliens, drug trafficking and feminism in the current world of the Mexican-U.S. border.
