| Overview: | This exquisite Chinese opera is a romantic and poetic love story about a ghost returning to Earth to find her true love, who risks all to bring her back to life and marry her. The couple encounters many obstacles, including parental opposition, invading Mongol hordes, and bungling comic servants. Intimate episodes alternate with elaborate set pieces, lyrical poetry with low slapstick comedy. This abridged version of the epic masterpiece from the 16th century dramatist Tang Xianzu reveals a rich tapestry that includes dance, acrobatics, stilt-walking, puppetry, recitation, pageantry and martial arts.
