The first Chinese-Rhaeto-Romanic solo opera! Micro-intervallic music by Harry Partch and David Eggert combines with an enchanting narrative based on the poetry of the double Po. This is surprising and hilarious!

The Moon tells a young man what he heard during his journey. With scenes, images and music, it takes us on a journey into the poetic world of the Chinese Li Po (Li Bai 李白 (701-762)) and the rhaeto-roman Chasper Po (1856-1936). Follow this fantastic tale of loneliness, longing, love, friendship, drinking and hallucination. The fine music is by Harry Partch and David Eggert and resounds in the shimmering colours of a tonal system derived from the overtones, sometimes with tiny, irregular intervals.
