Lady Generals, Drunken Beauties, Flower Girls and Shape-Shifters, throughout the 20th century, it was the character of the Dan - the female lead - who helped to define the development of Peking opera. Shanghai-trained actress Zhao Qun is joined in this celebration of the Four Great Dan by an ensemble of extraordinarily talented young singers and instrumentalists featuring a program of twenty selections from some of the most beloved operas. From teahouse to theater, these performances not only re-create the exquisite beauty of the Peking opera's golden age but carry the tradition into the future.
