Wagner does Buddha

Now here's something different, Welsh National Opera (WNO) are staging a production of Wagner Dream an opera written by composer Jonathan Harvey about Richard Wagner which is to be partly performed in Pali.

In the opera, a dying Wagner reflects on his own unfinished Buddhist opera. You can catch the performance on June the 6th and 7th at the Donald Gordon Theatre in the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff or at the Birmingham Hippodrome on the 12th.
