Opera Boston announces the company's first commissioned work- the world premiere of Madame White Snake, a new opera based on a beloved ancient Chinese legend, by composer Zhou Long and librettist Cerise Lim Jacobs. Co-commissioned with the Beijing Music Festival (Bmf), it is the first world premiere by the Bmf and an American company. Madame White Snake will have three performances (Feb. 26, 28, and March 2, 2010) at the Cutler Majestic Theatre in Boston and two performances in Beijing in October 2010. Planning has begun to bring Madame White Snake to several Chinese cities following the Chinese premiere in Beijing; the proposed tour is the first by an American Opera Company in China since San Francisco's Western Opera Company in 1987. The education and outreach program of Madame White Snake is presented by State Street Corporation.
Madame White Snake is one of just four world premieres by U.S. opera companies in the 2009-10 season.
