Aniceto Ortega
Aniceto Ortega was a Mexican composer known for his contributions to the country's musical heritage, particularly in the realm of opera. He is best remembered for his work 'Cuauhtemóctzin,' an opera that tells the story of the heroic defense of Tenochtitlán during the Spanish conquest in 1521. Originally premiered in 1871, Ortega's aria from this opera was recently performed during a state funeral for Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor, reflecting ongoing cultural reverence for indigenous history and heritage in Mexico.
