A classic Peking Opera updated for a modern audience through multimedia and dance will be staged at an upcoming Shanghai arts festival, Xu Xiaomin reports.
A Shanghai actress will present the legendary story of the royal concubine Yang Yuhuan, one of the famous "four beauties" in Chinese history, during the 21st China Shanghai International Arts Festival.
