TV Program: Great Performances at the Met: The First Emperor

The world-premiere broadcast of Chinese composer Tan Dun's epic opera features legendary tenor Placido Domingo as Emperor Qin, who built the Great Wall and gave China its name. Tan Dun's music is a fascinating mix of East and West, and this monumental production is staged by revered Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern and House of Flying Daggers), with costumes by Oscar-winning designer Emi Wada (Kurosawa's Ran).
