presented by El Mexicano Brand Cheeses

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there lived a pair of star crossed lovers named Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl … and a mother named Maria who had two adventurous children … and a beautiful immigrant from the Orient who transformed her adopted home with color and music ….

Once Upon a Time .. A Mariachi Musical …. is an original musical commissioned by the Festival with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Once Upon A Time … A Mariachi Musical celebrates the enduring folktales of Mexico, directed by Dan Guerrero and featuring the celebrated Vikki Carr, with a very special appearance by Los Lobos’ Cesar Rosas, and the world’s most celebrated mariachi ensembles – Mariachi Cobre, Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles and from Guadalajara, Mexico – Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan.

Featuring original choreography by Susan Cashion performed by Los Lupeños de San Jose, California’s finest folklorico company…

And the special talents of hundreds of musicians and dancers from our festival workshops!
