Inspired by the famous story of The Abduction of Sinta from the great classic of Indian and South-East Asian literature, the Ramayana, Opera Jawa is a musical. It tells of a passionate love triangle between three former dancers who once had performed that same Ramayana story. It is a love triangle that leads inexorably to conflict and violence. Setio and Siti, husband and wife, run a pottery business. When it collapses and Setio has to leave town, the powerful and ruthless trader Ludiro who has always been in love with this beautiful woman, seizes his chance, abducts and tries to seduce her. Inevitably the two men begin to fight over Siti and their struggle leads inexorably to greater violence. Caught between these two men, Siti struggles to find her own way.
