Biography
Stéfano's biography
Argentina used to be a land of hopes and dreams. Stéfano by Armando Discépolo makes reference to that specific time in history, describing the hopes of an european immigrant who dreamed, in vain, about writing an opera. Hope and frustration are the beginning and the end of a play that unfolds a personal tragedy launching it as a social metaphor.
