Soprano so grand

He Hui is opera's reigning Aida. She sang it 16 years ago in China when she was 26, and now she brings it back to her home country after a world of triumphant performances, reports Raymond Zhou.

China's most successful opera star does not really care if she is known to many people. If you are an opera lover, you'll know He Hui is in town. And you'll not miss it, especially when she is to sing Aida.

He Hui, a native of Xi'an, is the Aida of her generation. She almost owns this role on the world's grandest stages.
