Composed by Javier Antonio Bellato, the opera features a Spanish/Nahuatl-language libretto also written by Jiménez. Commissioned by Museo Jumex in Mexico City, it premiered on October 28, 2024, as part of the self-titled exhibition "The Grotto: An Opera in Two Acts." The opera runs for approximately 55 minutes and is scored for three voices (soprano, baritone, and children’s choir) accompanied by a string quartet. Notably, this is Jiménez’s first opera.[1]
