Terra baixa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sixth edition of Terra baixa.

Terra baixa (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈtɛrə ˈβaʃə], meaning in English Lowlands, also known as Martha of the Lowlands) is a Catalan-language play written by Àngel Guimerà in 1896. The drama is considered his most popular work, having become an international sensation after its premiere.[1]

It served as the basis for three operas, among them Tiefland, by Eugen d'Albert,[2] which in turn served as the basis for two films, including one by Leni Riefenstahl. Six other films based directly on the play were also made.[3][4][5][6][7]
