Kunqu opera celebrates 60th birthday of new China
Adjust font size:

"Peony Pavilion" is one of the most famous examples of Kunqu opera. Written by Tang Xianzu, a playwright who lived at the same time as Shakespeare, the story of love and courage has fascinated audiences over centuries. However, the original version of the legend had 55 acts and took days to perform. It was too slow, complicated and subtle for impatient modern audiences.

Writer Bai Xianyong, who fell in love with Kunqu opera at the age of nine, decided to make an adaptation of the piece in 2003. He cut the 55-act original down to a 27-act stage version. It lasts for nine hours and plays over three nights. While maintaining the story's integrity, he used modern theater techniques to satisfy the expectations of contemporary audiences. The actors are mostly in their mid 20s.

Kunqu Opera emerged 600 years ago and is a combination of song, dance, poetry and drama. It's considered one of the best representations of traditional Chinese aesthetic ideals. As the ancient romance is interpreted by young performers on a modern stage, Kunqu opera is given new life.

(CCTV July 7, 2009)
