This miniature opera is based on the true story of a popular democratic leader in Venezuela, made prisoner on February 18th 2014 for calling the masses to protest in the streets, against widespread injustice. Leopoldo Líopez was put in a high security prison, charged with multiple counts of attempting to overthrow the regime in place, and of course, for being a promising leader of a discontented and desperate people. He was later transferred to house arrest on July 8th 2017 after being imprisoned for over three years. On August 1st 2017 he was taken from his home by SEBIN (Bolivarian Intelligence Service) agents and was briefly imprisoned once again in Ramo Verde Prison. Since then, Lo?pez returned home and has remained on house arrest since August 5th 2017. While he was in the high security prison, he's only allowed visits from his immediate family at first then he was in solitary for most of the time and wasnÕt allow any visitors. The story of this miniature opera is about a visit from his wife Lilian, his main center and support; a few days after his arrest. There is floating uncertainty of having fallen into a trap, with very little hope. Still, hope and faith are precious resources to preserve. It's a story that has seen multiple characters over the ages, and yet, it's current and relevant today. Click here to watch the full orchestra version premiere on YouTube.
