BJAMC Drama Mr Ma & Son
Date: May 12-13 - 7:30 pm
Venue: Beijing Comedy Theater
Mr Ma (Ma Zeren) has long aspired to enter into the officialdom. But over the course of time, he has been an old man unconsciously. As his elder brother passes away, he along with his son visits London to take over this brother's curio shop therein. In this way, the official hunter becomes a downright merchant that he himself doesn't like at all. Yet the son of Mr Ma (Ma Wei) is very different. He readily adapts himself to such new environment, and starts a new life. What's more, he finds his best friend - a shop assistant, who his father simply dislikes. He can learn from this buddy how to operate the shop and how to have a romance. Ma Wei makes great effort to pursue career and romance, but neither of them gets on all right truly.

Europa Galante was founded in 1990 by its musical director Fabio Biondi who wanted to form an Italian period instrument ensemble to perform both baroque and classical repertoire. The ensemble has a varying structure and often performs chamber music such as the string sonatas of Italian composers of the 17th century. The ensemble's repertoire includes the operas of Handel such as Agrippina and Imeneo as well as Vivaldi including Bazajet, Ercole sul Termodonte, Oracolo in Messenia and many pre-18th century instrumental works. The group is also widely known for its performances of the works of Alessandro Scarlatti such as the oratorios, serenatas and operas including Massimo Puppieno, ll Trionfo dell'Onore, La Principessa Fedele and Carlo Re d'Allemagna.
