Modern Peking Opera play to commemorate Party鈥檚 centennial

The Shanghai Peking Opera Company鈥檚 modern play 鈥淩ed Agent鈥 will debut on June 19 and 20 at Yifu Theater to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

Based on the true stories of the Party鈥檚 underground members and revolutionary martyrs, the original play pays tribute to their dedication, faith and unyielding spirit.

According to scriptwriter Li Li, the play also captures the emotions of the agent Li Jianfei, especially the sacrifice in his personal and family life to fulfill the mission of protecting Party members.

Director Lu Ang said distinctive theatrical language is used to portray characters who faced difficult choices and challenges during that period.

The production is also the opera company鈥檚 new exploration of modern plays.

Last month, the troupe presented 鈥淐hanges of the World,鈥 adapted from Liu Heping鈥檚 novel 鈥淎ll Quiet in Peking,鈥 to wide acclaim.

Dates: June 19-20, 7:15pm

Venue: Yifu Theater

Address: 701 Fuzhou Rd
