The Kunqu advocate

By Zhang Kun in Shanghai | China Daily | Updated: 2017-04-15 07:38

Thanks in part to Zhang Jun's persistence over the decades, Kunqu Opera, once labeled as a traditional performance that is too boring to watch, is now experiencing a revival in modern times

When he was a student at the folk opera school at Shanghai Culture Square, Zhang Jun often snuck out of classes to watch films at the New Shanghai Theater across street.

Twenty years later, the renowned Kunqu artist and founder of the Zhang Jun Kunqu Opera Art Center will host a contemporary Kunqu art week at the very same cinema that was recently reopened after undergoing refurbishment.
