The young officers Ferrando and Guilelmo* do not want to let their fatherly friend Don Alfonso get away with it - after all, he doubts the fidelity of their fiancée! But instead of the demanded duel, they accept his proposal of a wager and thus become handmaidens in the work of destroying their love relationships.
Tan Dun: Tea - A Mirror of Soul
Overview
In his opera "TEA: A Mirror Of Soul", composer (and librettist) Tan Dun takes us on a journey to a fabulous China, to a fabulous Japan - but not in the comfortable paddy wagon of exoticism, as in "Turandot", "Madama Butterfly" or even "Land of Smiles"; much more, Tan Dun succeeds in merging idioms of the various musical and dramaturgical styles of Peking opera with colorful "Western" music to create his own authentic style.

About production
Tan Dun masterfully maintains the balance between meditative introspection and the great, dramatic eruption; the result is an extremely exciting piece of musical theater.
