Ravi Shankar鈥檚 only opera
The love story, the myth

After a terrible mistake leaves the ancient sage Chyavana blinded, the beautiful princess Sukanya finds herself marrying for the sake of her kingdom. As a pair of swaggering, meddling gods observe this unlikely union blossom, will love grow in the strangest of circumstances?

Taken from the legendary Sanskrit texts of the Mah膩bh膩rata, the story of Sukanya has been brought to life in this innovative production with music by Indian music legend Ravi Shankar and combines traditional Indian instruments with Western orchestra and singers. This performance is directed by Curve Associate Director Suba Das and uniquely unites dance choreographed by the Aakash Odedra Company, production by the Royal Opera House and the musicians of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Come and experience Ravi Shankar鈥檚 Sukanya. This special event combining myth, music and dance, will bring Ravi Shankar鈥檚 Opera to life for the very first time.
