Composer and virtuoso sitar player Jasdeep Singh Degun creates a unique union of singers and instrumentalists from the South Asian and Western classical traditions, bringing a fresh take to one of the earliest masterpieces in opera history. Sung in Italian, Hindi, Urdu and other languages with English subtitles.
