Boasting a rich and many-faceted musical tradition, Tibet enjoys a reputation within China as 'the sea of song and dance.' This collection features a representative selection of Tibetan operatic pieces. Originating in the eight century, Tibetan opera combines elements of literature, music, dance, bardic art, fine art, and acrobatics, producing a complex dramatic art form that features resonant singing, expressive accompaniment and complementary dance movement. An extremely significant part of Tibetan spiritual culture, this art form deserves recognition as part of the priceless heritage of world music.
