Summary
There have been many tales about what lurks beneath the infamous Opera Popular. None of these accounts are true, if only because of the nature of human imagination and invention. A tendency to take what is known and construct a fiction in the gaps. This account is no different, taking from many sources and creating something fantastical from them. The discerning observer will note many things about what is about to be told: the names don’t match the ones in the original context, the roles seem shifted away from what one would assume, and there are, indeed, quite a few running threads and plots if you dare to see what this work has stolen from greater minds. This work can be enjoyed just as thoroughly with this additional knowledge as without.
The commonality all of these narratives have are this: a man, shunned by society and living in secret beside a house devoted to music; his heart enraptured by both song and another, driven to compose and create with them in mind in the hopes his love might be answered. A call towards the beauty and light of the world despite the cruelties he has witnessed.
Even so, as was said before, this is no true account of events previously made. This is the tale of the Serpent’s Song.
