About:
One of the most beloved comic scenes from the Kunqu repertoire is
brought to life in Chunxiang’s Schoolroom Prank. With quick wit and
playful energy, mischievous maid disrupts a rigid schoolroom through
teasing exchanges, lyrical banter and comic mischief. Performed in the
refined vocal style of traditional Chinese opera with Chinese and
English surtitles, movement, music and humour blend in this vibrant and
visually rich staging. Particularly for first-time audiences discovering
Chinese opera this lively revival offers an accessible and engaging
introduction to the grace, rhythm and wit of one of the world’s oldest
operatic traditions.
