If a graceful night out is what you need, then a night at the opera is what we suggest. Early this month, the Yunnan Peking Opera Theatre will bring an abridged version of The Peony Pavilion to the NCPA stage. Produced by opera director Shen Shihua, The Peony Pavilion will star Li Jing and Zhu Fu to retell the peerless story of love. It is praised to be an elegant opera in terms of music, recitation, and the graceful movements of the performers.
