Xi’an Performing Arts Group’s Youth Experimental Troupe of Qinqiang Opera

Qinqiang, also known as Luantan, is one of the most representative opera genres of Xi’an, with a profound impact on the development of Chinese opera. Its singing style features wide vocal ranges and resounding tones, while retaining an intricate tonal delicacy. Its direct and intense emotional expression and the resonant, soaring vocals never fail to touch the audience. This programme brings together National Class One performers and Plum Blossom Award winners, featuring the classic piece Returning to Jingzhou based on the plot of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. With an unrivalled cast covering a full range of stock roles, the production portrays thrilling power struggles in an awe-inspiring spectacle. Equally compelling is Zhou Ren on the Way Home, coined as one of the ‘Eight Great Libretti of Qinqiang’.
