The work is set in the early nineteenth century. During that time, there was great politically upheaval in Spain and México, due in part to the French Revolution and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. There are several references to political events and historical figures in the opera, including Spanish King Ferdinand and the man that lit the flame of the Mexican revolution - Padre Miguel Hidalgo.
