ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The Navigator is an opera by Liza Lim to a libretto by Patricia Sykes. The work had its world premiere at the Judith Wright Arts Centre as part of the Brisbane Festival 2008 on 30 July 2008. It lasts for about 100 minutes without an interval.

Theme
The Navigator evokes stories from the great Indian epic Mahabharata and the romance of Tristan und Isolde, in its telling of how people risk everything in journeying towards unity and/or transformation, questioning the contingency of living only one life in one world.(Visited 4 times, 1 visits today)
