Music by Alejandro Basulto | Libretto by Criseida Santos-Guevara
Sung in English and Spanish, this 30-minute one-act opera tells the story of a janitor in an opera house who dreams of being a ranchera singer. Her encounter with a haughty soprano has unexpected results.
Alejandro Basulto is an award-winning Mexican composer and orchestral conductor. His music is characterized by a profound Latin-American identity, a vibrant integration of contemporary popular culture, a continuous exploration of diverse techniques, and the use of new narrative approaches.
