Tang Sanzang (Xuanzang) seeks justice and revenge before his journey to the west.

 

A new opera adapted from Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Rooted in Chinese folk religion, mythology, and Confucianist, Taoist and Buddhist philosophies, this opera opens a new window on the novel, telling the whole story.

 

Scored for an ensemble of Chinese and Western musical instruments, this opera blends both musical traditions. Sung in English.

 

The interactive broadcast will include the prologue to the opera, Buddha and the Monkey King, which appeared at the 2020 Festival, and a Q&A with the cast and creative team
