This opera in four acts is based on an ancient Chinese myth about a
snake-shaped spirit that attains human form to experience love. The
English libretto by Cerise Lim Jacobs sensitively adapts the story
for modern audiences, and Zhou Long's music uses both Western and
Chinese sounds to create a pioneering cross-cultural opera. Long
was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Music for Madame White
Snake, and the Pulitzer jury described the work as "a deeply
expressive opera that draws on a Chinese folk tale to blend the
musical traditions of the East and the West." Madame White Snake
was first staged by Opera Boston on 26 February 2010 at the Culter
Majestic Theatre, Boston, USA, and received its first Chinese
staging at the Beijing International Festival on 10 October 2010,
Beijing, China.
