The Ravi Shankar Opera Project website chronicles the creation of an opera in production that tells the story of the completion of the opera Sukanya, upon which Pandit Ravi Shankar was working at the time of his passing in December 2012. Ravi Shankar envisaged Sukanya as a truly groundbreaking piece of musical theatre which will explore the common ground between the music, dance and theatrical traditions of India and the West. To get an idea of how much excitement the project is generating, it is currently being funded by Arts Council England, The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Curve Theatre Leicester and Norwich Arts Centre.
