The script of the narrative will be specially written for this production by Professor Lo Kingman as the producer and the director of the entire project. There will be 11 musical numbers comprising the most famous and effective pages of the opera. The scenes will be fully staged with costumes and scenery specially designed in a style that emphasizes simplicity, refinement and dramatic appeal. The production involves 4 principal singers and a chorus of 8 who will individually also sing the secondary solo parts. There will be an instrumental ensemble of eight musicians under a conductor. Music needs to be specially arranged.
