Ramayana, the opera

Thai composer Somtow Sucharitkul and Dutch director Hans Nieuwenhuis team up in an attempt to transform the epic tale of the 'Ramayana' into an opera.

Ayodhya, the latest creation of Bangkok Opera's founder and artistic director Somtow Sucharitkul, is the first opera to chronicle the entire Ramayana epic, from the abduction of Sita to her final reunion with Rama and their ascent to Mount Krilash.
