An aesthetic fusion of east and west, The Silent Prince’s lush score combines western and traditional Indian instruments. Classical and Bollywood choreography, provided by the Anjali Dance Center, and a live elephant on stage contribute to an evening of both sophistication and spectacle.

The Silent Prince tells the Buddhist tale of Temiya Jataka, a Buddha who has been reincarnated as a prince. When forced to choose between committing terrible karmic deeds and disobeying his father, Temiya withdraws from the world into silence. The royal court tries to draw him back into the world, but a king’s patience can only last so long….

The opera lasts approximately 95 minutes with one intermission.

Music Director: Viswa Subbaraman
Stage Director: Joe Carl White
