Year: 2022 | Type: Mini-opera for soprano, tenor and piano | Duration: ca. 15'
I've wanted to write a piece based on Twain's Diaries of Adam and Eve ever since I read it. I used only a few sentences from Twain's book and arranged them in such a way as to produce a workable libretto. For the most part, I've kept everything intact, except for a few words that I've taken the liberty of contract. Also, in Eve's last entry, I changed "every wife" to "everyone," as I want her words to refer to all human beings and not just women.
Notes:
This work was recorded in 2023 in Barcelona by Ximena Agurto (soprano), Roger Padullés (tenor) and Elías Romero (piano), and included in the album Inspirations.
The recording of the album was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of Peru.
