About Kun Opera

Kun Opera was listed as a “Representative Masterpiece of Human Oral and Intangible Heritage” by UNESCO in 2001.

About "The Rain on the Phoenix Tree"

The Kun Opera "The Rain on the Phoenix Tree" was adapted from Yuan opera "Emperor Ming of Tang: The Rain on the Phoenix Tree at Autumn Night", a representative masterpiece written by Bai Pu, one of the four masters of Yuan opera. It illustrates the love between Emperor Ming of Tang and his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan and gives a touching sigh with deep feeling. With the creative concept of "Activating Yuan Opera with Kun Opera", the artists dig deep into the traditional cultural connotations and reproduce the classics of Yuan opera which had been quiescent for 700 years with the style of Kun opera.
