New biopic of opera legend Mei Lanfang to debut

China Daily  

A new theater production will combine two forms of traditional Chinese opera to present the life story of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. The first modern story production by the Kunqu Opera Theater of Jiangsu Province, Mei Lanfang tells of the youthful period of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, arguably the most legendary Peking Opera artist, who is renowned for his portrayals of young female characters. Shi Xiaming, director of the Kunqu Opera Theater of Jiangsu Province and the lead actor in the upcoming Mei Lanfang opera, held a dialogue at Shanghai Oriental Art Center with Shanghai-based Peking Opera artist Fu Xiru on Feb 28. The new production, Mei Lanfang, which combines Kunqu and Peking operas, will make its Shanghai debut at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center as one of the 14 productions featured in the annual performance series of Chinese operas.
