In
January, 2003, D'Drum traveled to Hong Kong to participate in an unusual
staging of Mozart's well known Opera, " The Magic Flute".
Performing with musicians and actors of the respected and reknowned
Beijing Opera , D'Drum brought their unique sound of world percussion
to accompany the dance of Nyomen Wenten , acknowledged master of Balinese
dance and music, and his wife Nanik, also known as a torchbearer of
Javanese dance.
