Stephin Merritt is in Bejing to remount The Orphan of Zhou, a Chinese opera he scored for the director Chen Shi-Zheng. The opera is opening at the prestigeous Bejing Music Festival on Oct 14. Go to Spotify and put in Orphan of Zhou for all the music from the original 2003 Lincoln Center production (and music from two other operas he made with Chen, My Life as a Fairytale and Peach Blossom Fan).
