| - Gernika is Francisco Escudero's second opera, written in 1985. The libretto was written by Escudero with the assistance of Carmelo Iturria and , and based on an idea for a plot by . The opera consists of four acts, and is about 2 hours long. Gernika was first presented in concert version in the Arriaga Theatre in Bilbao on the 25th of April, 1987, with several other works as part of a commemoration on the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica. In January 1938, he was paid 1000 Francs to compose a Basque stage production entitled Guernica, which had been requested by the Basque cultural organization "Eresoinka". Unfortunately the score was lost. The Eresoinka documents which have been preserved expressly indicate that the work never made it to the stage. After the tragedy of 1937, the name Guernica had become associated with the horror of the war and fascism; the opera may not have been staged at this time because of its political sensitivity. In essence, Gernika is a song of the Basque Country. Escudero put all his beliefs about history and nature of the community to which he belongs into this work. He presented the Basque Country as a free country with its own personality, peaceful, continuing the traditions of ancestors, who have always remained united. (en)
- Guernica (título original en vasco, Gernika) es una ópera en cuatro actos de Francisco Escudero, con libreto en vasco del propio compositor, y ; basado en una idea para una trama de Luis Iriondo. Se estrenó en versión de concierto en el Teatro Arriaga de Bilbao el 25 de abril de 1987, entre otros actos que conmemoraron el 50.º aniversario del bombardeo de Guernica. Se trata de la segunda ópera del autor, escrita en 1985. Su primera ópera fue Zigor en el año 1962. La idea le vino a Francisco Escudero, quien estaba posiblemente ya en el exilio, de crear una composición sobre el horror del bombardeo de Guernica. En enero de 1938, le pagaron mil francos para componer una producción escénica de tema vasco titulada Guernica, que habían sido pedidos por la embajada cultural vasca "Eresoinka". Desafortunadamente, la partitura se perdió. Es una ópera poco representada en la actualidad; en las estadísticas de Operabase aparece con sólo una representación en el período 2005-2010, siendo la primera de Francisco Escudero. (es)
