Clocking in at over two hours it felt quite weighty, although we appreciate in the world of opera that’s not a particularly long time.
The first show, The Emperor and the Concubine, was the more straightforward piece. On a rare visit to the UK, the China National Peking Opera Company have taken over Angel’s Sadler’s Wells theatre for a brief residency.įor those unfamiliar, Peking Opera is a traditional performing art form, which has developed over the last 200 years and encompasses the culture, values and traditions of the Chinese people. Over the weekend we were invited to attend two performances by the China National Peking Opera Company one quite a conventional two-act play with a through-narrative, the other a pair of short stories with more focus on dance and movement than the music itself.
