Overview

Taking inspiration from the tragic love story of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and his beloved consort, Lady Yang, this production explores the interactive dynamic between music and drama, as well as between actors and the orchestra. The HKCO is bringing together artists from Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong to step into the opulent ambiance of the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty.

This is yet another reprisal of the collaboration between the HKCO and Zhang Jun, the “Prince of Kunqu”, after the critically acclaimed debut of The Palace of Eternal Life in 2018. The amalgamation of Kunqu opera and Chinese orchestral music is the key to high drama and romance, in this new, reimagined theatrical production titled The Palace of Eternal Life on a Moonlit Night.
