En esta novela deliciosa, propositiva y liberadora, el autor utiliza los recursos propios del barroco: la parodia, el artificio, la hipérbole y la enumeración proliferante, con mayor liberalidad; rompe con las ataduras de la cronología histórica y adquiere un extraordianrio sentido del humor. El libro cuenta la historia de la puesta en escena de una ópera de Antonio Vivaldi, estrenada en el teatro Sant`Angelo de Venecia, en el otoño de 1733, la cual narra la derrota de Moctezuma por las fuerzas españolas que capitanea Hernán Cortés. El tema no puede ser más propicio para la pluma de Carpentier, pues se trata de una ópera barroca, que permite además, enfrentar dos historias, dos culturas, dos mundos -América y Europa-, de cuya contraposición surge, en la óptica carpenteriana, precisamente lo real maravilloso. Novela que da cuenta del gusto del autor por la música, una segunda vocación que, junto a la arquitectura, subyace en toda su obra y que ya se había manifestado con singular vehemencia en Los pasos perdidos.
