Two Chinese opera stars in a powerful play of duty, loyalty and bloodshedPeking opera pioneer Wu Hsing-kuo and his Contemporary Legend Theatre join forces with Zhang Jun, “the prince of kunqu”, for a daring adaptation of Shakespeare’s dark historical saga. Wu and Zhang appear respectively as Julius Caesar and Brutus in this imaginative fusion of Chinese opera and contemporary theatre styles.
Wu is no stranger to Shakespeare and tales of epic proportions. His company is devoted to integrating traditional Chinese opera with modern theatre in its adaptations of classic stories from around the world. His powerful rock opera trilogy The Water Margin, which blended Peking opera with pop music, attracted opera traditionalists and younger audiences alike. His past five Shakespearean adaptations have attracted international attention, including The Tempest, directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark, and a solo performance of King Lear, which led The Guardian to describe Wu as “the Taiwanese answer to Orson Welles”.
Zhang, too, pushes his 600-year-old art form in new directions, aiming to popularise the kun opera genre among audiences of a new generation—a pursuit that led to his designation as a UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2011. His outstanding artistic achievements include the lead role in Tan Dun’s opera Marco Polo (2008) and the solo performance I, Hamlet, a dialogue between Shakespeare and the greatest Ming poets.
Wu and Zhang may both be old hands at Shakespeare, but Julius Caesar marks the first collaboration between these two eminent artists from Taipei and Shanghai. This thrilling hybrid of opera, modern theatre and multimedia storytelling is a firm declaration that Chinese opera and Shakespearean drama are compatible art forms that remain as relevant as ever. Witness the world premiere of a reimagined Shakespeare classic delivered by two icons of contemporary Chinese opera and an outstanding creative team.

The Peak

M26***qs

Taiping Mountain covers a large area of hilly terrain east of Longhu Mountain, north of Pok Fulin and west of Majixian Gorge. This can be confirmed by the historical documents of Taipingshan Street and the buildings on the top of the mountain in Sheung Wan. Later, the foothills of Taiping Mountain were divided into Central and Sheung Wan, and developed into a central business district; the mountainside part was called Mid-mountain, which was a noble residential area. The mountaintop became the residences and mansions of wealthy people and foreign envoys, and was developed into tourist attractions in modern times. Thus, Taiping Mountain and the Peak have become almost synonymous.

Accompanying parents from Beijing to Hong Kong to visit the Forbidden City Cultural Museum, although the number of exhibits is not much, but precious and exquisite, the exhibition hall is professional and interesting, the whole building is modern atmosphere, the layout is reasonable and compact and orderly, and the use of multimedia technology to cross ancient and modern time and space. This different experience makes us leave a deep memory. The exhibition hall has a seating area, the service staff is polite and welcoming, the open-air platform faces the harbor, the scenery is pleasant, I recommend everyone to visit it.
