A HOUSE IN BALI : a new gamelan opera by Evan Ziporyn
June 26-27, 2009 & September 26-27, 2009
Puri Saraswati, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Cal Performances, Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA
A House in Bali is a new opera by Evan Ziporyn. Based on a libretto by Paul Schick, it traces the roots of the west's century-long infatuation with Bali, through the true story of three westerners - composer Colin McPhee, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and artist Walter Spies - during their 1930s sojourn in Bali. This stunning, multi-media spectacle brings together the finest ensembles of east and west: a 15-piece Balinese gamelan directed by the dynamic Dewa Ketut Alit, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Balinese choreography by the enchanting Kadek Dewi Aryani, wayang shadow puppets, and high-tech projections converge, pushing all boundaries of theatrical innovation.
A House in Bali features some of the finest operatic and Balinese voices working today: Anne Harley, Marc Molomot, Timur Bekbosunov, as well as the legendary Desak Made Suarti Laksmi and - making his operatic debut - Nyoman Triyana Usadhi.
A House in Bali world premiere will be at the Water Palace Theater, Puri Saraswati in Ubud, Bali, June 26-27, 2009. The American premiere will be presented by Cal Performances in Berkeley, California, September 26-27, 2009.
