Opera gives delta town a reason to be proud

China Daily  

Shanghai Huju Opera Theater actors, with 6-year-old fan He Lingxin, present an episode of Sparkles in the Reed Marshes, at the scenic spot of Shajiabang in suburban Changshu, Jiangsu province, earlier this month. However, many are not aware of the fact that the Peking Opera was adapted from a Huju Opera production named Ludang Huozhong, or Sparkles in the Reed Marshes, which was created in Shanghai in 1960. "Several generations of artists from Shanghai Huju Opera Theater have come to Shajiabang," Mao said during the performance. The Huju opera Sparkles in the Reed Marshes features an assembly of diverse characters and highlights scenes that were successfully translated into the Peking Opera production, soon gaining national success.
