The ‘Three Kingdoms’ repertory of Yuediao Opera stands out among regional opera forms for its distinctive feature of casting female actors in xusheng (bearded male) roles. Shen Xiaomei, the first Yuediao performer to receive the China Theatre Plum Blossom Award, carries forward the artistic legacy of Shen Fengmei, whose unique style established the Shen School of performance. She excels in portraying Zhuge Liang, the legendary strategist known for his composure in adversity, capturing his intellectual essence through nuanced singing and expressive interpretation. The troupe is bringing in two acclaimed productions: the epic historical drama Jiang Wei Surrenders and the bittersweet comedy Li Tianbao Gets Married. 27/6 (Fri) 7:30pm Jiang Wei Surrenders 28/6 (Sat) 7:30pm Li Tianbao Gets Married Main Cast: Shen Xiaomei, Liu Zhiyou, Hu Hongbo, Zhao Yanlin, Nie Lei Programme of HKICH Month Extension Activity 26/6 (THU) 7:30pm Henan Provincial Yue Diao Art Protection and Inheritance Center Meet-the-Artists: The Signature Singing Style and Vocal Techniques of the Shen School in Henan Yuediao Speakers: Shen Xiaomei, Liu Zhiyou, Hu Hongbo, Zhao Yanlin, Nie Lei Moderator: Chan Chun-miu AC2, Level 4, Administration Building, Hong Kong Cultural Centre In Putonghua and Cantonese Free admission.
