But she refused to say how many performers would appear on stage at any particular parts. "We prefer not to reveal the detailed storyline yet," she said.
"We will add elements of popular music to attract younger audiences and use multimedia technologies to improve stage effects."
According to Thursday's Beijing News, the Great People's Hall will renovate its stage to fit for the play, the first such renovation in five decades.
The play is directed by Zhang Jigang, deputy director-in-chief for Beijing Olympic's opening ceremony.
The crew would start rehearsals in the Great Hall of the People on Monday, Jin said.
"We will sell tickets to the public. But ticket prices and the number of performances have yet to be decided," she said.
She said many leading Chinese artists would take part, but declined to name names.
More detailed information would be revealed at a press conference next week, she said.
