Chinese opera Mulan Psalm, staged at Chongqing's Shi Guangnan Grand Theater on May 10, paid homage to Shi Guangnan (1940-90), one of modern China's most popular composers, on the 75th anniversary of his birth.
The occasion also marked the opening of the theater that's named after Shi and is located in the municipality's Nan'an district, where he was born.
Under the baton of Li Xincao and jointly performed by China National Symphony Orchestra and the PLA General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, the opera featured high-profile Chinese soprano Lei Jia and tenor Zhang Yingxi.
