Music :: A Flowering Tree
Perth International Arts Festival, West Australian Symphony Orchestra and West Australian Opera
Music by John Adams
The most celebrated opera composer of our time, John Adams’ latest work is 'the most unabashedly romantic, gloriously tonal score to hit the opera scene in many years'.
Inspired by Mozart’s The Magic Flute and its themes of magic and transformation, A Flowering Tree brings to life an ancient fairy tale from Southern India. When Kumudha, a beautiful peasant girl, discovers her ability to transform into a blossoming tree, she commences a journey of love, intrigue, jealousy and misery, before reuniting with her beloved Prince and finding happiness.
With a stellar international cast and a new semi-staged production by acclaimed Australian director Patrick Nolan, A Flowering Tree sweeps you away from reality to a land of enchantment and passion.

Adams … give us his most romantic, dappled, gently erotic score to date. The music shimmers with dancing light … opulent, dreamlike, fiercely lyrical
