Description

Funded by the Committee of 100, this one-man show features Metropolitan Opera basso Hao Jiang Tian weaving song and story into a compelling tale of growing up in China under Chairman Mao, based on his autobiography (with co-author Lois B. Morris) "Along the Roaring River: My Wild Ride from Mao to the Met". Performing songs of the Cultural Revolution, American standards such as "Some Enchanted Evening", Irish song "Danny Boy" and operatic arias from his favorite roles, Tian tells the story of the music-and the woman- that changed his life. Accompanying himself on accordion, guitar and piano, joined by the voice of his singing parrot, Tian reveals the spirit, and deep resonant voice, that carried him from Mao to the Met.
