LYRIC OPERA'S "CRUZAR LA CARA DE LA LUNA"
The first of its kind ever written, this mariachi opera by José “Pepé” Martínez and Leonard Foglia marries two musical worlds with one thing in common: each finds its fullest voice in the telling of moving tales, and Cruzar is no exception. After leaving his wife and son in Mexico to find work in the United States, Laurentino is torn between distance and duty. Decades later, and with days to live, he looks back on how the choices he made became the secrets he kept, with consequences that will redefine what it means to be a family.
GRAMMY® Award-winning mariachi band Mariachi Los Camperos will perform with
Lyric Opera of Kansas City in this production.
