Maritza and I have known each other since 2010. For years we've tried to work on a project, but we never seemed to be able to make our busy schedules fit together. In 2020, finally, our first opportunity came. Encouraged by Maritza, 15 Peruvian composers, including myself, embarked on the joint composition of an opera with a libretto by her. A few weeks after the premiere, Maritza handed me the libretto of Ídolos, which she had written in 2015. I loved it from the moment I read it and accepted the challenge immediately.
Notes:
Since this is an opera, presenting a digital recreation here wouldn't work, not only because artificially modeling the human voice remains very difficult—although some recent developments will solve this in the near future—but primarily because the action cannot be shown.
However, if you are interested in hearing a digital recreation—no matter how rudimentary—because you are interested in considering this work for performance, please contact me.
Given the large scale of this dramatic work, the score and individual parts cannot be sold online. Furthermore, because the copyright for the libretto belongs to Maritza Núñez, I cannot provide a link to a perusal score. If you are interested in reviewing the material, please contact me.
