November 6th Huangmei Opera The Farewell Inn
In an ancient town south of the Yangtze River, CAI Mingfeng, a travelling merchant, falls in love with LIU Fengying, the proprietress of a local inn. The two live together for three years in quiet devotion. When a letter from home calls CAI back, the lovers part in tears at the inn.
Upon his return, CAI Mingfeng is brutally murdered by his estranged wife, ZHU Lian, and her lover, CHEN Dalei. Justice is ultimately served through the courageous testimony of WEI Dasuan, a righteous outlaw who steps forward to expose the truth and vindicate the dead.
For over a hundred years,
The Farewell Inn has moved audiences with its profound meditation on human existence, the value of life, and the dignity of the individual. Through its sincere portrayal of genuine love, heartfelt emotion, and moral awakening, the opera invites audiences to reflect on their own lives and society. A timeless tribute to true affection and the return of humanity, it remains one of the most beloved and enduring classics of Huangmei Opera.
November 7th Huangmei Opera The Heavenly Match
The Seventh Fairy Maiden, the youngest daughter of the Jade Emperor, has no attachment to the splendours of the heavenly palace. She takes pity on DONG Yong, a young man in the mortal world who has sold himself into bondage, and secretly descends to the mortal world to marry him. She weaves ten bolts of brocade in a single night, cutting Dong Yong's three-year indenture down to a hundred days. When the hundred days are up, the couple return home together, dreaming of a happy life. But the Jade Emperor orders the Seventh Fairy Maiden back to heaven, tearing apart the blissful union between goddess and mortal.
