Sung in Spanish with projected English translation, Las tres mujeres de Jerusalén is a motivational and inspirational story based on the Passion narrative of the Eighth Station of the Cross, depicting the women who weep for Jesus as He is forced toward the crucifixion. The opera imagines what these unnamed women were like, showing the experiences of ordinary people sharing their compassion when confronted with evil. The story of the opera is inspired by the New Testament, but its theme of compassion and community is universal.
