About the author
Alejandro Dolina
22 books200 followersAlejandro Ricardo Dolina (born May 20, 1945) is an Argentine broadcaster, who also achieved renown as a musician and a writer.
Dolina was born in Baigorrita, Buenos Aires Province, and spent his childhood years in Caseros, a middle-class suburb of Buenos Aires city, with Yugoslav (in his own words -he never referred to a particular ethnic group in the defunct country) and Italian ancestry (he has also reminded his audiences that Dolina is a word preserved in many Slavic languages, meaning valley). He pursued music and writing since childhood. Although he steadfastly refuses to discuss his private life, he often recalls anecdotes about time spent in his youth in the company of musicians and professional gamblers (he confesses of having worked for a while as a dice man at an illegal casino, until his acquaintance Manuel Evequoz "rescued" him, preventing his going further astray and offering him the first jobs in the advertising business).
In the early 1970s, Dolina made inroads into advertising copywriting and started publishing articles in Satiricón magazine, which was read for laughs but often provided deeper reflections on politics, society, and life in general. His main partner in this adventure was Carlos Trillo, who was also an advertising man and would later become a successful comics writer.
In 1978, with Satiricón closed by the military dictatorship, Dolina started writing in Humor magazine, which treaded much more carefully to avoid closure or an even worse fate. During these years, Dolina (himself a moderate Peronist) wrote essays about honor, love, friendship, and invented a mythology centered on the Gray Angel of Flores neighborhood, fictitious writer Manuel Mandeb (according to himself, inspired by Manuel Evequoz, the man who had helped him in his early youth), using them as a pretext to deal with universal themes. These stories have since been published in the book "Crónicas del Ángel Gris" ("Chronicles of the Gray Angel") in 1987, and later morphed into a musical.
With the return of democracy in 1983, Dolina started hosting a successful late radio show: originally named Demasiado tarde para lágrimas ("Too late for tears"). For several years he enjoyed a growing success; in 1987 he was voted the best humourist in a poll conducted by a primetime TV show, leaving behind some legendary comic actors such as Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel, still active back then. In 1988 he started his own TV show La Barra de Dolina ("Dolina's Gang"); the show was daring enough to include soccer matches featuring some retired stars, and even St. Peter's & St. Paul's bonfires, an old more (safety matters aside, it's held as a bad omen to have real fire in a TV studio). As in his radio show, he'd greet members of the audience in person. In 1990 and 1991 Dolina kept his TV show once a week, while his daily radio show went on a hiatus. Its name was later changed for contractual reasons, in 1992 to El Ombligo del Mundo (a name shared by his resumed radio show and by a Saturday night TV-show); in 1993 he drops the TV show while the radio show gets its current name: La venganza será terrible ("Revenge will be terrible"). In 1991 he was nominated for the "TV or Radio Host" Konex Award for his work in the show.
In spite of changes in the radio or TV station the show format suffered only minor changes since its inception in the mid '80s. To accommodate live audiences (free admittance until the place is full) many live studios were used: the Radio El Mundo (radio) and Canal 11 [1988] and ATC[1990, 1991] (TV) auditoriums; those at the House of Buenos Aires province [1989], House of Entre Ríos province [1989]; the Insurance Workers' Union [1992]. Then, the two-hour show was broadcast live Monday to Friday at midnight originally from the basement of the famous Café Tortoni. Due to security reasons, after República Cromagnon nightclub fire, it was transferred in 2005 to the Hotel Bauen, a recuperated business.

"Estoy enamorado y no voy a privarme del sufrimiento, aunque sea ficticio".

Las obras de Teatro / Operetas, no sé bien cuál es este libro, no deberían ser novelas y venderse al público como libro. Son eso, obras, tienen que transcurrir en un escenario. La nota del principio hablaba de todo lo que transmite Dolina y estoy segurísima que esta historia llevada a la actuación, al canto, a la vivencia de la obra debe ser impresionante.
La trama es muy buena, lo que atraviesa el personaje que asimila lo que atraviesa cualquier persona que se está enamorando es bárbaro. Pero al leerlo escrito no me transmitió NADA. Estoy segura que Dolina debe ser un escritor increíble, pero en este tipo de libros me falta contexto, por lo menos una descripción de lo que habría en escena en ese momento.
Mi conclusivos es debe ser una obra hermosa, con una trama atrapante y con un contenido de calidad. Pero como libro que solo se lee me dejo con ganas de mucho más. Pongan una función que yo la voy a ver, y sino armamos una y la actuamos.

Una opereta, otra obra de Alejandro Dolina, me la recomendaron y a su vez ya había escuchado algo de ella.
La narración se situa en el bar La Pampa en donde aparece un enamorado llamado Manuel quién está para contar su historia de su amor y de Laura, precisamente busca con quién conversar del tema.
Conocemos a Laura que Manuel queda prendado pero está le dice que su amor es bastante caro, no se puede conseguir tan ligeramente, primero tendrá que entrar en el barrio del dolor, en la calle de la desesperación para encontrar la llave del amor que se supone que abre cualquier corazón.
Aparecen distintos personajes que son parte del entrevero, que dictará sus diálogos y acompañaran a Manuel en ese viaje sin fin en busca de esa dichosa llave.
Se divide en dos partes. Melodiosa, con rimas, también se la puede escuchar por Youtube, dura aproximadamente una hora y treinta minutos, sin embargo obte primeramente en leerla y luego oírla, que, ciertamente, son dos experiencias distintas. Me gustó mucho.

Una opereta escrita que resultó bastante entretenida. Si la leen escuchando el audio se vuelve más dinámico y divertido incluso.
Me pareció una buena obra, breve, entretenida e incluso divertida. Con un autor que rompe la cuarta pared y charla con su personaje
Me gustó bastante, no toma más de 1 o 2 hora leerlo y está buena. Leanlo

Me encanto. La música es impresionante, y el autor supo elegir a los intérpretes de su obra. Hago mención especial a Mercedes Sosa como La Pitonisa, estuvo brillante.

Una maravilla. Ideal para escuchar (y tener el libro a mano para ir pispeando).

Es extraño, tanto por el tipo de literatura como por el estilo de Dolina. Me gustó la trama pero no son lo mío las operetas. Dejo una frase que me dejó enamorada:
LAURA
Júreme alguna cosa, Manuel
MANUEL
Le prometo que todo es fugaz
LAURA
Venga y vamos los dos a espantar
Los fantasmas de la inmensidad
DÜO
Que se acobarde la ausencia
Cuando nos vea pasar
LAURA

MANUEL

LAURA
Venga y vamos los dos a espantar
Los fantasmas de la inmensidad

Que se acobarde la ausencia
