The universality and theatrical immediacy of this 16th century Chinese masterpiece continues to generate powerful audience appeal. Acting, singing, music, dance, acrobatics, stilt-walking, puppetry, recitation, pageantry and martial arts all find a place in the rich tapestry of Chen Shi-Zheng’s production of The Peony Pavilion. The story is told through a flowing sequence of some two hundred enchanting arias, featuring a host of colourful characters, embroidered costumes and exotic head-dresses that cannot fail to captivate. Playing time is 180 Mins.
