The Neemrana Music Foundation and Akademia is presenting the opera 'Orfeo, crossing the Ganges', which is a link between the two worlds is reinforced by the Indian and European cast, trained on several occasions by Françoise Lasserre and Nadya Balyan choir conductor during workshops held in India during the last few months.

The five act opera has been on floor at the Kamani Auditorium.
