Work Overview
'In Years Thou Art Young' comes from my bilingual chamber opera 'Tales of Scheherazade' (in Persian and English), based on the legendary collection of Eastern folk tales 'One Thousand and One Nights'. This intoxicating mix of Western and Eastern cultures tells stories of love, passion, betrayal, loyalty, revenge and triumph in adversity. As Scheherazade attempts to save her sister from imminent death at the hands of the Sultan with a penchant for having his way with virgins and beheading them the morning after, she distracts him night after night by spinning never-ending stories.
