A polyphony of characters, places and situations form the structure of La ciudad de las mentiras (City of Lies), a world premiere at the Teatro Real by Spanish composer Elena Mendoza. The opera is based on four stories by Juan Carlos Onetti. It describes a city in miniature where four women create parallel universes through dreams and stories to escape their own realities.  A world where lies are the basis of social relationships.
