Cruzar was an opera with spoken dialogue and some beautiful arias performed by a mariachi band on three sides of the stage. The story had to do with a migrant worker who leaves his wife and son behind in Mexico. They try to join him but the mother dies en route. The father spends 20 years trying to find his son, who disowns him. Now nearing death and suffering from dementia, the father, his other, younger son and granddaughter are trying to make the best of it. The granddaughter locates her uncle and there is a touching reunion. The story is less linear than I have recounted.
