Performance of sections of the chamber opera Naciketa in Pondicherry, India 2013 with Embar Kannen, Prakriti Dutta and Simon Thacker.
NACIKETA
in 2009 Nigel Osborne and Ariel Dorfman began working on a new chamber opera called Naciketa. The original story came from the Brahmin spiritual writings of the Upanishads. We have worked for several years on the research and development of this new work. This included two work in progress performances, one in partnership with Opera North and the other at the Jerwood Space. In 2012 our team travelled to India and there is a short documentary of the fragments of this visit. We plan to produce the first tour of a semi staged concert performance in 2016 both in the UK, Europe and India initially. Naciketa has its own web page on this site.
