“Peking opera New Dragon Inn is not only a new adaptation, but also a production that brings together martial arts actors, and where young Peking opera actors display their skills, gain experience and make breakthroughs…” – Xinmin Evening News
Adapted from the eponymous film, Peking opera New Dragon Inn tells the story of Ming dynasty General Zhou Huaian, who protects the orphans of a loyal official from being chased by secret agents. He finally manages to eliminate all the enemies and escape from danger. This adaptation retains the storyline and relationship of the characters of the original, while deconstructing and interpreting the story using the aesthetics and artistic techniques of traditional Chinese opera.
After three years in preparation, the Peking opera New Dragon Inn premiered in 2019 to great acclaim. In 2021, Shi Yihong, an accomplished qingyi artist of the Mei school from Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company who is also the producer and lead actress of this performance, joined hands with the revival director Liu Jun to restage the work into this new Shanghai-style Peking opera. This production has toured numerous cities to showcase the glamour of Peking opera.
