A scholar chances upon a beautiful woman crying in the rain while on his way home. He gives her an umbrella out of kindness, unaware that she is a demon in disguise, wearing a mask made of human skin. Romance ensues but ends in tragedy. That's Painted Skin, and earlier this evening, we had a reinterpretation of this classic tale fusing Western opera with Peking opera at our Concert Hall. Comprising musicians from the acclaimed singaporechineseorchestra, who collaborated with scriptwriter Wang Yuanfei, renowned composer Hao Weiya, pioneering director Yi Liming, under the baton of maestro Tsung Yeh. • #mydurian #esplanadesg #esplanade #singapore #huayi2019 #huayi #opera #paintedskin
