Monkey hits Royal Opera House
Damon Albarn's latest project, named Monkey: Journey to the West, is to have its London debut at the World famous Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
The 90-minute modern opera, which is based on an ancient Tang dynasty manuscript and features acrobats, contortionists and martial arts experts, is due to take its London bow on 23 July 2008.
The show has previously played to sell-out audiences in Manchester and Paris. Tickets are on sale from 12 June 2008.
