Chinese Opera Showcase at Bang Bang Oriental

A night at the opera anyone? London’s largest Asian food hall Bang Bang Oriental in Colindale is hosting an evening of traditional Chinese opera on Friday 7 September 2018.

The Peking Opera Show will consist of two renowned Chinese operas, from 7pm until 8pm. The first show, Palace of Eternal Youth tells the love story between The Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. This classic Chinese opera was first performed in 1688 and was praised for its poetic lyrics and cultivating melodies.
