Theater that strikes the right note
China DailyActors and actresses of Mozart L'Opera Rock meet a full house after a performance in Beijing. "What attracts me the most about musicals is the inclusiveness, their constant exploration of incorporating other art forms, as well as those factors unique to individual musicals such as the beautiful songs, the charming actors, ingenious stage design and great storyline," says the 25-year-old. Before a performance of Mozart L'Opera Rock in Shanghai in 2018, another fan named Liu Borui, 21, stands out from the crowd with his ornate sense of style. "Being the focus of the crowd delights me, and the costume and makeup help me conceal my true identity," Liu says. Musical fans showing up at performances in costumes are already part of the scene, but what makes Shao Feifei, a teenage girl and also a fan of Mozart L'Opera Rock, stand out is that she makes all her costumes herself.
