DESCRIPTION:This study addresses the critical reconstruction of La Esclava 
 (1921) by José Mauri Esteve as a central case for understanding the emergen
 ce of a national operatic language in Cuba and the processes of textual tra
 nsmission within Cuban lyric theatre. Preserved in a fragmentary condition 
 and dispersed across orchestral parts\, piano reductions\, and divergent vo
 cal copies\, the work must be examined from the perspective of the continui
 ng archive\, understood as the critical articulation of heterogeneous mater
 ial testimonies.\n\nThe lecture will first present the current state of the
  surviving sources and the principal stages in the transmission of the work
  from its premiere to later twentieth-century revival attempts. Second\, it
  will examine the methodological criteria applied in the comparison of voca
 l versions and partial orchestral materials\, with the aim of restoring the
  dramatic and musical structure of the work as a Cuban opera in three acts.
  Particular attention will also be given to the role of archival collection
 s associated with the Díaz-Ayala Collection and related holdings in reconst
 ructing the documentary framework of the work. Finally\, the paper will ref
 lect on the place of La Esclava within the historiography of Cuban lyric th
 eatre and on the implications of its reconstruction for establishing a cano
 nical version oriented both toward scholarly research and contemporary perf
 ormance practice.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. This event 
 will be held in Spanish. To confirm your in-person attendance\, please writ
