7th September 2007 (20:00 - 22:00)

The Northern Kunqu Opera Troupe will perform one of the great masterpieces of Chinese classical opera The Romance of the Western Bower. The romantic opera written by Wang Shifun tells of a young couple's struggle to gain society's approval to get married.
Appreciating the unique opera performances does not require knowledge of the Chinese language as the stories unfold through facial expressions and body language. Lavish costumes, facial makeup and the operatic melodies also play an important role in conveying the message to the audience.

PERFORMERS AT THIS EVENT

Kunqu Opera

The Nordic Chinese Culture Festival will showcase the performances of the forty-person Northern Kunqu Opera Troupe, founded in 1957. Kunqu Opera is the oldest existing form of Chinese opera which features musical melodies played on traditional instruments.
