The First Emperor

   Posted by: Jeffrey   in Culture

Last night I saw The First Emperor, a new opera at The Metropolitan Opera by Tan Dun starring Placido Domingo. While the opera had a somewhat slow First Act, the music held enough promise to keep me for the Second Act, one with one of the more memorable choruses I can recall. It was eerily mesmerizing, with the sadness and emotion common to most operas I have attended. For an opera in English (with a little Chinese as well), the chorus piece was astounding.
