Lincoln Center opens a monthlong festival devoted to Osvaldo Golijov with Ainadamar, his transcendent opera of the Spanish Civil War.

Everybody loves Osvaldo Golijov right now, especially Lincoln Center, which is in the midst of a monthlong celebration of the Argentine composer and his work. In the carefully curated world of classical music, this is a pretty extraordinary tribute, usually extended only to such high-profile names as Philip Glass, Steve Reich, or John Adams, prolific senior composers with a proven track record.
