The Lyric’s “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna” Infuses Opera with Mariachi
The Kansas City Opera closed its 2024-2025 season with the first ever mariachi opera: “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna” (“To Cross the Face of the Moon”). Though it premiered in 2010 (at the Houston Grand Opera), this intergenerational story of a Mexican family torn apart by migration is timelier and more resonant than ever.
