The Peking opera version of New Dragon Inn debuted at Shanghai Grand Theatre after over three years of production. Since then, this opera has been well-received by both artistic circles and audiences alike and has become a masterpiece of the new Shanghai School of Peking opera. The integration of New Dragon Inn with Peking opera not only represents a bold innovation, but also renders a wonderful experience of the convergence and fusion of different forms of art. How did the production team seek innovation while embracing and promoting traditional opera? How did they manage to overcome difficulties during the process? Get ready to be inspired by Ms Shi Yihong, the producer and lead of New Dragon Inn.
