Du Shiniang
(2004-01-07)

The opera is a tragedy depicting an ancient love story in China. Also known as oriental " Madame Butterfly", Du Shiniang is well on its way for creation. Liu Yuan, the winner of Chinese music "Golden Bell Prize" for composition, is in charge of the creation of music for the opera. The opera would come to the fore in 2004 with Cao Qijing as the director.

"Central Opera House of China is well qualified for the performance of western operas: we have first-class singers and our glee club is also of also of high standard with abundant experiences. We are confident to perform any of the large-scale operas. The focal point for us now is to bring forward some original opera works with Chinese characteristics." noted Liu Zhongjun, the vice president of the troupe.

Both the audience and people from the opera circle pin high hope on this original opera with distinct Chinese characteristics.
