Classic Kunqu Opera performances are incorporated into the staging of The Dream of the Peony Pavilion, an outdoor show in Jiangxi province. Imagine an entire 15-hectare cultural park as an outdoor site for a performance adapted from The Peony Pavilion, a well known masterpiece by Tang Xianzu, a playwright who lived in mid-16th and early 17th-century China. For the performance, you need to move around to follow the progress of the show, which is staged in different areas and accompanied by fabulous lighting and water effects.
