A Warning from Water, A World Out of Balance

A once-prosperous kingdom falls into chaos, cursed by an unexplained water disaster. As endless rain pours and lakes overflow, the King’s only heir, The Princess, becomes gravely ill, trapped in isolation. Ancient royal records speak of The Water Ghost, a being that disrupts the world’s balance by taking over human bodies. As a last hope, the royal court calls upon The Artisan and The Apprentice to create The Water Clock, a magical timepiece that could save The Princess. The Rising World: Spirit of Water is a groundbreaking English-language opera that follows two strong female protagonists, bridging tradition and modernity, East and West. Using the universal themes of water and time, the opera tells a powerful and emotional story that resonates across cultures.
