Ravi Shankar: Sukanya
Sitar legend Ravi Shankar's only opera, Sukanya, was first performed in 2017. Shankar left it unfinished at his death, and it was completed by longtime collaborator David Murphy, Shankar's daughter Anoushka, and his last wife, Sukanya, after whom the opera is named. Inspired by her and based on an ancient story, the opera here receives its world premiere recording, taken from the London Philharmonic Orchestra's concert performance in January 2020, and featuring the original cast.
