Chinese Opera Festival 2023: A Stellar Meet featuring Plum Blossom Award Winners in Yue Opera
A Stellar Meet featuring Plum Blossom Award Winners in Yue Opera
Over ten renowned Yue Opera actors and actresses from six different troupes, all being China Theatre Plum Blossom Award winners, will go beyond the troupe limitation to join hands in Hong Kong to perform four classic full-length Yue Operas in a star-studded extravaganza.
The four main schools of Yue Opera xiaosheng, namely the Xu (Yulan) School, Lu (Jinhua) School, Fan (Ruijuan) School and Yin (Guifang) School, are all distinguished by unique style and artistic features. Over the years, each school has nurtured many widely sought-after Yue Opera performing artists who have been awarded multiple times. Their artistic accomplishments are widely recognised. Now they are going to reconstruct the stellar cast of the former times when the school founders appeared onstage together to perform the signature repertoire of each school on four consecutive nights, including The Dream of the Red Chamber, The Pearl Pagoda, The Butterfly Lovers and He Wenxiu, so as to pay tribute to the Yue Opera predecessors.
Lyrics and dialogue with Chinese and English surtitles.
