Heroes and Gallants Combat on Stage, Operatic Masters Revisit Ancient Acts

In the new production of the full-length serial opera Seven Heroes and Five Gallants by the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company, wusheng (military male), wudan (military female) and wuchou (military comic) will demonstrate their brilliant martial art skills. The story will focus on the battle between the heroes and the villains, with vivid portrayals of the heroic figures such as Bai Yutang, Zhan Chao and Judge Bao. Equally highly anticipated is The House of Wulong , a classic work of Peking Opera master Zhou Xinfang, interpreted by Chen Shaoyun, a master of the Qi School famed for his layered treatment of emotions and deep voice.
