This is a work of conscience. Having spent several years wandering the world and seeing the poverty and injustice that is so common in the 3rd world (and caused and condoned by the 1st), I increasingly wanted to do something about it, but what? I lack medical or carpentry skills, I can teach but don't know the local languages i what could I do? Then it hit me: I could write an opera on the horrific history of the Maya since the Conquest, an opera not for them but about them, aimed at the thoughtless consumers in rich countries who buy endlessly and don't think to question the ethics of the corporations and people who produce what they buy. It is really they, the consumers and their apathy, who are the cause of so much misery in poor countries. I want them to come to see that, and to change their habits. Pie-in-the-sky maybe, but art has been known to alter history. This is a Grand Opera, big in its conception, dramatic, as powerful as I can make it, and requiring large forces.
