Qinqiang is one of the most representative opera genres of Xi’an. 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’.
