Lotus Lives
Info
A multimedia chamber opera by Su Lian Tan
Taking place both on screen and on stage, this opera explores Lily’s journey, a Chinese immigrant trapped within the constraints of a strict and alienating upbringing, seeking to discover her identity. The story unfolds gradually, like the lotus from which the opera takes its name. The narrative features singers, dancers, instrumentalists and Chinese shadow theatre, supported by sumptuous and eclectic orchestration.
