With this new perspective of Cinco horas con Mario, the composer Jorge Grundman maintains a tension that stretches and gathers for almost two hours in which the viewer cannot disconnect. It has a consonant musical structure, similar to that of Maurice Ravel's “Pavana para una infanta difunta”, in which few brass, strings, and some percussion are present in addition to the soprano and choir. In the opera, the character of Mario presents a challenge and challenges, demonstrating that from silence one also shouts. Thus, Grundman presents his perspective not so much from the moment the original work was written, but from the time when the opera was to be released, and that peripheral reading, and so curiously faithful to the spirit of the novel, was what that made the novelist's family fall in love, as well as the great Carmen Balcells.
