THAI CHORAL OPERA · FOR THE WORLD STAGE
An enduring legend.
A living art.
An ancient Thai story finds a contemporary voice. Manohra brings choral singing, orchestra, Thai music and shadow puppetry together in a drama of love and freedom.

AT THE HEART OF THE OPERA
Love that gives freedom.
Manohra can fly, yet in the human world she loses her wings. Suthon must learn that love cannot mean possession. Her freedom to leave—and her choice to return—form the emotional centre of the opera.
