Those of you who were fortunate to see the original Tango Argentino can make
a comparison with the revival. I cannot. All I can say is that I looked
forward with great anticipation to last night at Teatro Opera to see the
show that brought Argentine tango to the world for the first time when it
debuted in Paris in 1983. I was not disappointed. I had a ringside seat to
see this tango production with 12 musicians, four singers, and 19 dancers.
The main floor of the theater was full, probably the balcony as well, since
there will be only three performances here in Buenos Aires. It was worth
every cent I paid for the ticket.
The highlight of the show for me was seeing Juan Carlos Copes and Maria
Nieves dance to Patetico in the second act. They received applause during
their entrance to the stage. It has been three years since this couple has
performed together after a partnership that lasted 40 years. I had the
privilege of seeing them perform at the Tango Congress concert at
Northwestern University in June 1995. Seeing these legends together on
stage was a moment I shall never forget.
Carlos Copello and Alicia Monti are favorites of mine. Their interpretation
of Recuerdo was passionate and sensual.
Pablo Veron and Guillermina Quiroga were absolute perfection in three solos.
This new partnership brings together their incredible talents which alone is
worth the price of admission.
The backbone of this spectacular production is an outstanding ensemble of
musicians. They performed seven numbers alone; a great concert in itself.

Does anyone know if Tango Argentino is coming to San Francisco, or any
other US city after the NY stint? I saw the show in SF in 1986 (at the
tender age of 22) and was blown away. I'd like to relive that.
