Classic romance gets operatic makeover
Adjust font size: Bookmark and Share

The Northern Kunqu Opera Troupe will stage the classic play "Romance of the Western Chamber" at the National Center for the Performing Arts.

Directed by Guo Xiaonan, the latest version of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) story employs modern techniques to enhance the stage effects. Colorful lights flood the stage, covered by a glass platform. A simple pavilion and pond decorated with peach blossoms and lotus flowers, further complement the set design.

"Romance of the Western Chamber" is written by Wang Shifu, a famous playwright of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). This representative work tells the story of young man, Zhang Gong, who puts up at the Pujiu Temple, on his way to taking the imperial examination. One day, he meets Cui Yingying, daughter of a former prime minister who also lives in the temple, and falls in love. With the help of Cui's maidservant, Hongniang, the two pass love messages to one another, evading the watchful eye of Cui's snobbish mother. Overcoming all difficulties, Zhang passes the examination and marries his beloved.

The plot is familiar to generations of Chinese. The character of the maid Hongniang is particularly well-loved and anyone who introduces people to their potential partners is called Hongniang, even today.

The latest version features top performers of the opera troupe, with Wang Zhenyi taking on the role of Zhang Gong, and Wei Chunrong that of Cui Yingying.

7:30 pm, July 23-26
National Center for the Performing Arts, west of Tian'anmen Square, Beijing
