Xicano Opera

IV. Imperial Silence

Imperial Silence is a 4 act opera packed with socio-political commentary mediated by Días de los Muertos traditions. This commentary represents a Chicano perspective on America in a time of "infinite war".  Imperial Silence functions to promote discourse on a broad range of issues that span America’s colonial history to the U.S. declared war on terror.

Imperial Silence is directed by John Jota Leanos, and composed by Los Quatro Vientos, and Cristobal Martinez.
