Renowned Hollywood composer Klaus Badelt is seeking to internationalize Tibetan music by combining original folk melody with symphony.

He has been working on the musical Dream, which mixes original music from Lhasa, capital of Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, and Baingoin county of Nagqu Prefecture.

"It's an amazing opportunity for an artist to explore the rich history of Tibet," Badelt said.

Best known for film scores for Pirates of the Caribbean and Pearl Harbor, and as the only western composer that took part in the Beijing Olympic Games closing ceremony, Badelt was drawn by the music of Tibet when he first heard it.

The musical will be performed in Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts in October.
