The First Emperor

''The First Emperor'' is an opera in two acts with music by Tan Dun and a libretto written in English by Tan Dun and Ha Jin. The opera received its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center in New York City on 21 December 2006, conducted by the composer with Plácido Domingo in the title role. It was broadcast live to hundreds of cinemas around the world on 13 January 2007 as part of the Met Live in HD season. The following year, EMI released this movie broadcast on DVD. The opera was a co-production between the Metropolitan Opera and the Los Angeles Opera and was described to be the most elaborate Metropolitan opera production since ''War and Peace''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The First Emperor )
==Background==
The protagonist is the real-life emperor Qin Shi Huang, who unified China with force, erected part of the Great Wall, and was buried with his terracotta army. The story of the opera is based on the Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian (c.145 – 90 BC) and the screenplay of ''The Emperor’s Shadow'' by Wei Lu.
Tan Dun was first approached by the Met in 1996 to write an opera. After seeing the film ''The Emperor's Shadow'', he settled on the theme of the First Emperor. Zhang Yimou, the production's stage director, had worked with Tan Dun on the movie ''Hero'' that also deals with emperor Qin, albeit at an earlier time. The world premiere production was estimated to cost in excess of US$2 million.〔( Lois Morris and Robert Lipsyte, "The Met's Way Out-of-Town Tryout", ''New York Times'', 14 May 2006, (accessed 7 December 2006) )〕 In preparation, Met staff was instructed in Chinese, and workshops in the development of the opera were held in Shanghai, in part as a cost-saving measure. Eagerly anticipated, the opera has been described as "a high-stakes, cross-cultural gamble".〔 Tan Dun noted in regard to working in the operatic form:
:“Opera will no longer be a Western form, as it is no longer an Italian form.”〔(Statement by Tan Dun )〕
