The China National Peking Opera Company will return to the Macao Cultural Centre’s (CCM) later this year to perform at the CCM’s Grand Auditorium on 6 and 7 December, according to the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC).
The shows are held in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Macau SAR through a collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China and the SAR’s Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture.
Co-organised by the Department of Publicity and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macau and the Macau SAR’s Education and Youth Development Bureau, as well as coordinated by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, these celebratory performances are part of the National Art Troupes Performance Season in Macau.
The programme will begin on 6 December with “Yang Silang Visits His Mother”, which tells the legendary tale of a family reunited during war time, while the following day will see the Chinese opera company performing three excerpts of “The Cosmos Sword”, a show depicting a feud between two political blocs during the Qin Dynasty that ruins the happy marriage of a young couple, as well as three episodes of the classic “Reconciliation Between the General and the Prime Minister”.
Tickets are available for purchase at various prices through the Macau Ticketing Network outlets. For more information visit CCM’s website.
