Cantonese Opera "Princess Wencheng" will be performed in Hong Kong in October for Guangzhou Cultural Week

Art and Cultural | In October this year, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Guangzhou Municipal Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism Bureau will jointly host the Guangzhou Cultural Week. As one of the event's highlights, the large-scale newly compiled historical Cantonese Opera "Princess Wencheng" by the Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Theatre Company will be performed on October 22 and 23 at the Auditorium of Sha Tin Town Hall in Hong Kong. Many renowned Cantonese Opera artists will perform together, showcasing their exquisite acting skills and profound artistic attainments, to present a song of praise for national integration spanning a thousand years to the Hong Kong audience.

The Cantonese Opera "Princess Wencheng" is based on the history of Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty marrying into the Ancient Tibetan. It tells the story of how Princess Wencheng assisted the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo and remained in Tibet for 40 years, establishing friendly relations between the nations. This opera breaks away from the previous sorrowful image of the princess in marriage alliances, featuring a character image of Princess Wencheng who is both intelligent and playful, as well as brave and responsible. The stage art, lighting, and costumes all reflect the perfect fusion of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Tibetan customs, bringing a dual enjoyment of visual and auditory pleasure to the audience.#artandculture
