Nacha Guevara's 'Eva' Musical Archive at Museo Moderno Documents Argentine Theater History

The Museo Moderno presents archival materials documenting Nacha Guevara's landmark 1986 musical 'Eva: El gran musical argentino.' The production featured music by Alberto Favero, with Guevara contributing the book and Pedro Orgambide providing lyrics and dialogue. CBS served as the record label, while Estudio Cimadevilla handled graphic design and photography. Multiple revivals occurred, including a 2008-2009 run at Buenos Aires's Teatro Lola Membrives. The archive includes photographs by Gabriel Machado from that production, alongside numerous press clippings from Argentine publications like Caras, Perfil, Noticias, Clarín, La Nación, and Ámbito Financiero spanning 1986 to 2011. Coverage highlights the musical's social impact and Guevara's career trajectory, connecting it to her later work like 'Tita. Una vida en tiempo de tango' at Teatro Metropolitan in 2011. Additional historical items include a 1973-1974 photograph with Tita Merello from 'Las mil y una Nachas' at Teatro Margarita Xirgu and a 1986 cover of El Gráfico magazine courtesy of the Biblioteca del Congreso de la Nación.
