Bruce Gaston's opera is about children living with HIV. The Tiger represents the virus.

World Opera Week 2009 features three shows at Thailand Cultural Center's Main Hall November 23-29.

Ode to Joy is a tribute to Beethoven's final symphonies and will be performed by the Mahler Siam Philharmonic Orchestra on 23 November. The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets are priced 100-1,000 baht.

The most popular opera in the world, La Boheme, will run for two nights November 25-26. The performance will star Nancy Yuen and Israel Lozano, who return to Bangkok after co-starring in Madame Butterfly two years ago, with music by the Siam Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orpheus Choir of Bangkok. Curtains up at 7:30pm and tickets cost 500-3,000 baht.

The Siam Philharmonic Orchestra and Fong Naam World Premiere will top-off the week November 28-29 with A Boy and a Tiger, an opera written by children for adults and presented by the Bangkok Opera HIV Awareness Project. This show includes a matinee performance from 2pm and an evening performance from 7.30pm. Tickets cost 200-2,000 baht.

They accept:
Mastercard, Visa, Cash
