Mae Naak (opera)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mae Naak is the 2003 opera composed by Thai composer Somtow Sucharitkul, based on one of Thailand's best known ghost stories. The story is also the basis for Nonzee Nimibutr's popular film Nang Nak.
The opera's title role was created by Hong Kong born soprano Nancy Yuen who reprised the role in a 2005 production at the Thailand Cultural Center, directed by Henry Akina, artistic director of the Hawaii Opera Theatre. Both productions were designed by prominent Thai avant-garde artist Sumet Jumsai.
