About this listen

 In 1911, Martinez Sierra and his wife Maria achieved a remarkable milestone with the production of The Cradle Song. This poignant play reflects Marias cherished memories of her childhood in Carabanchel, where her father served as a convent doctor and her sister became Sister Joanna of the Cross, a character in the play. Martinez skillfully explores profound themes of universal passion and the enduring cry of maternal instinct, often stifled and overlooked. The Cradle Song has transcended borders, being translated into numerous languages and performed around the world, resonating with audiences everywhere.
