TEA: A Mirror of the Soul
Tan Dun
Productions of Interest
The French premiere of Tea, by Chinese-born composer Tan Dun. Tan was at the podium for the event, to which the noticeably young audience gave a rapturous reception. With fairly accessible music, plenty of potential for gorgeous settings and costumes, a classic story and fascinating use of unconventional instruments, Tea could prove a popular addition to the repertory./ Source

If proof were needed that Tea, like a good wine, has ‘legs’, the Netherlands Opera in Amsterdam, which shared the original production commissioned for Suntory Hall in Tokyo and gave Tea its European premiere in 2003, has scheduled a repeat of that production by Pierre Audi for January 2005.
