Lord Guan Yu on Stage has shown the way forward for traditional Chinese opera!” - Bell Yung, Professor Emeritus of Department of Music, University of Pittsburgh

 

A creative masterpiece that is both classical and modern.” - Professor Wei Shyy, Executive Vice-President and Provost of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology


Showing Lord Guan Yu from man to god, with the classic basic skills of Peking opera: singing, talking, acting and fighting, and traditional rituals interspersed with new media technology. Battle, killing, sacrifice, compassion, becoming a god, subduing evil spirits… Begins with the loyal and heroic act of Guan Yu crossing five passes and slaying six generals. With the crossing of five passes, the cleansing of the stage is achieved by getting rid of the ominous evil spirits. Hence, he becomes a demon slayer, warding off evil and keeping the world in peace.
