Tan Dun's "Ghost Opera"
Date: September 30th at 7pm and October 1st at 1pm
Venue: Black Box Theater Time
Tickets: $45
Wu Man and the Attacca Quartet team up to perform Tan Dun's Ghost Opera, a pioneering work that dramatically combines elements of both Chinese and Western cultures. Pipa master, Wu Man, has been associated with the piece since its composition 30 years ago. Ghost Opera evokes the spirits of Bach and Shakespeare - in the manner of ancient folk traditions and traditional shamanistic Chinese music, complete with elements of paper, water, stone, metal, and vocals. This new production, in association with the Ojai Music Festival, incorporates dance via dancer/choreographer PeiJu Chien-Pott and is reimagined through Jon Reimer's direction.
