Why Flowers Bloom in May?
Why Flowers Bloom in May?
During the time that it was being composed, there was an increased awareness about environmentalism. Asensio’s “fantasy opera” reflects on the beauty and mystery of nature. The story is about Rayo, the sun king, who fell in love with a princess of the earth, Maia. The two were married in the end, but Maia however, had to leave the earth. As she left, the flowers refused to bloom because of their sadness. Maia then decided to return to earth once in a while because she cannot stand the heat of the sun. When she returns, the flowers bloom in happiness. The time of their arrival would be called Mayo, which is a combination of the names Maia and Rayo.
