East Meets West in a New Contemporary Cambodian Opera,
fusing traditional Cambodian music with rock and rap, sung in English and Khmer, with subtitles in both languages.
The opera’s “hybrid” musical style will merge traditional Cambodian instruments in a contemporary sound. Musical themes will carry the epic quality of the story and play off the unity and disunity of East meeting West. The production features a traditional Khmer orchestra and a Khmer rock band, traveling from Cambodia, and a string quartet from the New England Orchestra.
First preview performances in Lowell, MA on April 27, 28 & 29, 2007.
