There are many stage performances (mainly in Asia) about Buddhism. I particularly like a performance of 1000 arm Chenrezig, it is so beautiful! It has been a part of the Asia culture to watch Buddhism related performance.
I guess this is opera and musical is a good way to introduce Buddhism to the west to target the specific group. I totally agree with this method, because in this era, we need some special ways to get people to be interested in Buddhism. Mobile phone apps is one of the way...
I hope this opera will inspire more and more opera and musical which are Buddhism related! 
My Dream is a musical dance performance created for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games that incorporates many types of art, including music, dance, dance drama, Peking Opera, and classical opera in conjunction with representations of Chinese customs and those of other Eastern cultures. The fifth production of My Dream has adapted classical pieces such as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and The Happy Life on Farmland in addition to new original performances including Dancing&Listening, Kite Flying and The Code of Life.
In classical Eastern tradition, the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva ("Buddha-to-be") with a thousand hands and eyes, believed to be the embodiment of compassion and mercy, is the most popular of all Buddhist deities. Depicted in the arts, the 42 hands of the bodhisattva form a circle that represents a thousand hands. In the dance Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, 21 hearing impaired dancers are arranged on a lotus-shaped stage to form the likeness of the deity. With a kind expression in their eyes, varied hand postures and spellbinding body movements, the group performs an interpretation of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's kindness.
