The empty hours

Approved

The empty hours –opera for soprano, actress, choir, piano and
string orchestra– is an essay about a lonely woman, addicted to
the Internet, who lives locked up in her own fantasy world; an
exploration of loneliness, the confusion between the real and
imaginary worlds, and the growing sense of isolation in which
today's affluent society finds itself immersed.

Stylistically, The Empty Hours combines motifs from traditional
Spanish polyphony and a contemporary musical language - 
crass, mainly minimalist and post-minimalist in the vein of composers
such as Philip Glass, John Adams, and Meredith Monk. The result
is a synthesis of styles closer to the sound and spirit of Downtown New York – 
where Ricardo Llorca has lived for 30 years –
 then from the dominant currents in the European avant-garde scene
- Originally premiered in 2007 during the XII Week of Mú
sica Sacra of Benidorm, and later performed in Berlin,
New York, Saint Petersburg, São Paulo, and Klaipėda (Lithuania), always
pre in the concert version, The Empty Hours is now coming to Madrid, for
the first time represented in the stage version.
