Based on the novel The Mapmaker’s Opera by Béa Gonzalez. Executive Producers: Perry Street Theatricals, New York; Co-Producer: Music Theatre Melbourne. The Mapmaker’s Opera was first performed Off-Broadway as a grand jury selection of the 2014 New York Musical Festival. It was temporarily re-titled The Stranger from Seville and accepted, as one of six new musicals, for the 2018 2^nd. Florida Festival of New Musicals prior to a successful, and critically well-received, industry reading in New York City. Directed by Martin Platt.

Set in the Yucatán, on the eve of the Mexican revolution, the story centers around of a pair of star- crossed lovers – Diego Clemente, a young artist and illustrator from Seville, Spain, and Sofia, daughter of Roberto and Gabriela Duarte. From the young couple’s first encounter, their budding romance is thwarted at every turn; their quest to leave the town of Mérida in search of a new life culminating in a deadly uprising by workers on a local henequen plantation who, unable to endure any more suffering, rise up in rebellion.

Development on the musical resumed in 2025. You can listen to some tracks from the show here.
