Brought my parents to watch the Monkey: Journey to the West Opera in The O2 (Nearest Tube Station: North Greenwich) today.
The opera was great, what a combination of the west and east. Several factors of combination:
- The opera was in Mandarin with English subtitle
- The music was composed with Western and Eastern Musical Instruments.
- The opera was in Western Musical style but communicated in Mandarin
The amazing part was the Chinese Acrobatic Stunt...and of course the graphic animation and props. The part I like the most is the Buddha's Palm. When Sun Wu Kong (Great Sage) was too mischievous and he was punished by the Buddha and trapped under the Buddha's palm. The turning of Buddha's Palm, the Buddha's status and props were great in visual.
And most important is the ticket price is worth. Ticket bought was only 10 quid per person. :)
