Kunqu Opera stars reprise the roles that made them famous 18 years ago, Chen Nan reports.

A group of young performers from the Jiangsu Province Kunqu Opera Theater captivated audiences in 2006 with their mesmerizing portrayal of characters from the production 1699 The Peach Blossom Fan. This had been adapted from the classical script The Peach Blossom Fan written by Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) playwright Kong Shangren.

Their talent and dedication propelled them to fame, marking a significant moment in the revival of the traditional Chinese opera.

Now, 18 years later, these same performers return to the stage to reprise their roles, offering a poignant reflection on their artistic journey and the enduring appeal of Kunqu Opera.

Touring nationwide from July to August, they are performing in several cities, including Beijing on Friday and Saturday, Suzhou, Jiangsu province, on Aug 3 and 4, and Guangzhou, Guangdong province, on Aug 9 and 10.
