The Tibetan folk opera, "Sukyi Nyima" ("As Radiant As the Sun") was performed to a packed, enthusiastic audience at Cannon Chapel on April 6th. Religious themes and romantic intrigue blended together in a fantastic display of sound -- drums and voices -- and color from the spectacular costumes and masks.

The opera was directed and choreographed by Tashi D. Sharzur (Techung), who has been an artist affiliate in both Music and Dance Departments at Emory since 2011.
