Shepherd

Love, jealousy, murder, betrayal and revenge make up this drama that has as its backdrop the clashes between republicans and monarchists in the Italian peninsula at the end of the 18th century. This classic has been linked to the Teatro Colón since the year its building was inaugurated in 1908 and, since then, it has been performed throughout all the decades for 110 years. This production by Roberto Oswald (1933-2013), one of the most important stage directors of the house -who also added set design and lighting- was presented for the first time in 1992 and was seen again in the 1993, 1998, 2003 and 2016 seasons.
