Mariana Pineda is a play by the Spanish playwright and poet Federico García Lorca. It is based on the life of Mariana de Pineda Muñoz, whose republican opposition to Ferdinand VII had become part of the folklore of Granada. The play was written between 1923 and 1925 and was first performed in June of 1927 at the Teatro Goya in Barcelona. That production was directed by Lorca, with scenic design and costumes by Salvador Dalí, and was performed by the company of Margarita Xirgu. The play received its Madrid première that October, at the Teatro Fontalba.[1]
Lorca's first play was The Butterfly's Evil Spell, which was first performed in 1920 but which closed after only four performances. Mariana Pineda, in contrast, was a success.[1] Consequently, Lorca often claimed that Mariana Pineda was his first play.
The play figures prominently in the opera Ainadamar (2003) by Osvaldo Golijov.
