Tan Dun's opera "Tea: a Mirror of Soul" revolves around the romance between a Chinese princess and a Japanese prince and is set in the 9th century.

Tan Dun, an Oscar-winning composer, presented the opera with his signature style of using natural sounds, incorporating water, paper and stones as instruments. The show will also be performed on Thursday.
