Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe of Shaoxing

In Yue Opera, the handsome xiaosheng (young male role) played by female actors can be akin to the well-loved male idols of popular television series. Among the veterans, Wu Fenghua, two-time winner of the China Theatre Plum Blossom Award, is an exemplary figure commanding both talent and skills. The Peacock Flies Southeas, dubbed the ‘Chinese Romeo and Juliet’, offers a touching reinterpretation of love and loss. The Aloeswood Fan is a delightful take on of the classic scholar-and-beauty genre. The finale, Mu Guiying Takes Command, combines crisp martial arts moves with graceful operatic vocals to showcase the refined artistry of Yue Opera.
