Zaifen Huangmei Opera Theater Emperor's Female Son-in-Law

Date: March 11－7:30 pm

Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts

Price: 100-580 yuan

Back in 1958, Wang Zhaoqian discovered the original script of The Emperor's Female Son-in-Law that had been collected by Zuo Shihe. Then on this basis, Anqing Commission Huangmei Opera Troupe, the precursor of Anqing Zaifen Huangmei Opera House, brought it alive on the stage for the first time. Later with Liu Qiong at the helm, a film starring Yan Fengying and Wang Shaofang hit the big screen as a salute to the 10th anniversary of the foundation of the New China. Alongside China's Reform and Opening-up, Han Zaifen has made Huangmei Opera as a potpourri of drama, TV play and movie.
