Kaleidoscopes of Chinese Opera!

Get ready for a whole lot of make up, big hair and colour. For one night only, the Chinese Opera is in town. The troupe includes five winners of the Meihua prize. We’ve never heard of that either, but it’s on the same level as the Oscars apparently. They’ll be performing extremely famous stanzas from ROMANCE OF THE GODDESS, THE EMPEROR’S NEPHEW and THE LEGEND OF THE WHITE SNAKE. – HM
