Genji monogatari (opera)

Genji monogatari (The Tale of Genji) is an opera by the Japanese composer Minoru Miki, with the libretto by Colin Graham, based on the eponymous masterpiece of 11th-century classical Japanese literature by Murasaki Shikibu. The opera was composed in 1999 and premiered in June 2000 at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) in the United States, with Graham directing the production. Cast members from the OTSL production participated in the Japanese premiere of the opera on 20 September 2001.[1]

The story of the opera is principally derived from the first three books of the novel.[2]
