\n\tDetails of some of the performances follow:<\/p>\n


\n1. The Crossroads Inn, performed by the Peking Opera

\nThis is the story of Jiao Zan, a general of the Song Dynasty, who defended Song against the northern Jurchen invaders. Jiao Zan and other soldiers and generals under General Yang Yanhui\u2019s command have been honored as national heroes by generations of Chinese for the patriotic deeds and sacrifices in the war between Song and the Jurchen Jin Dynasty. <\/p>\n


\n2.\tA Moonlit River on a Spring Night is one of the most famous Chinese traditional music works since the late 19th century. The beautiful musical harmony paints a tranquil scene of a river in springtime and gives a vivid impression of ripples over the water.<\/p>\n


\n3. Ambush from All Sides, Traditional Chinese Music

\nThis is a famous Chinese classical lute (pipa) score, which was composed on the basis of a battle in 202 B.C. between the armies of Chu and Han at Gaixia, by the Wujiang River. Through its passionate and majestic tune, the audience can almost see the fierce, desolate, solemn and stirring scenes of the battle and hear the sounds of soldiers\u2019 shouting, horse galloping, and weapons striking.<\/p>\n


\n4.\tUproar in Heaven, Peking Opera

\nBased on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature, Journey to the West, this play tells the story of how the Monkey King challenges the authority by putting Heaven in uproar. In fear of Monkey King\u2019s immense amount of strength and superb speed, Jade Emperor offers Monkey King a rank amongst the gods and makes him the guardian of the Heavenly Garden. When the Monkey King finds that everyone in Heaven but him is invited to a royal banquet, his indignation again turns to open defiance. He then proceeds to destroy many of Heaven\u2019s palaces. Due to its extensive portrayal of martial arts, this is one of the most popular Beijing opera repertoires.<\/p>\n


\nAmong the visiting actors and actresses is TU Linghui \u6d82\u73b2\u6167, who is a National Class-one Performer. She has won the 4th Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Theatre and the 1st Wenhua Performance Award. She is currently a visiting professor of Beijing opera at Binghamton University.<\/p>\n
