MARCO POLO:  THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

“Not much is known about the personal life of Marco Polo. Did a young man of such energy and vigor have a love interest during his long sojourn in China? What we know from the recorded narratives about Marco Polo is that he was commanded by the Great Khan to accompany the Mongol princess Kogajin en route to her intended royal bridegroom in Persia. Was there a a romantic relationship between the two? Many authors wonder. This musical production is one such dramatization of what could have happened: Marco Polo finding true love amidst the setting of an East-West encounter rich in historical significance. Did Marco and Kogajin succeed in their quest for true love?” Author and Composer Rogelio Saldo Chua
