Opening Programme

Commissioned by
the Chinese Opera Festival

The Legend of the Purple Hairpin is the first dream in The Four Dreams of Yuming Tang - the representative works of Tang Xianzu. It was inspired by The Story of Huo Xiaoyu, a famous short story by author Jiang Fang of the Tang dynasty. Historically, Willow and Yang Pass are the only frequently staged excerpts in Kunqu Opera. To commemorate this world-renowned Chinese opera playwright, the Chinese Opera Festival has invited Koo Siu-sun, Hong Kong’s Kunqu playwright, to reorganise the 53 episodes of The Legend of the Purple Hairpin into one full-length play with 10 acts. The show will be performed with Tang’s original lyrics and the original musical notation made by Ye Tang from the Qing dynasty. There will be two performances of The Legend of the Purple Hairpin: the first one by Taiwan Kunqu Opera artist Wen Yu Hang and Hong Kong Kunqu Opera artist Ying Kam-sha; the second one, by the two outstanding young performers of Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe - Zeng Jie will be playing Li Yi, while Hu Ping will play Huo Xiaoyu. The role of Grand Commandant Lu will be played by Zhang Shizheng, a Shi-generation Kunqu Opera artist. Liu Gongjin, on the other hand, will be played by fine young jing (painted face) actor Hu Linan. The play will be directed by renowned Kunqu Opera director Shen Bin and artistic supervision by Wang Shiyu and Wang Fengmei, the heritage bearers of Kunqu performing arts. By advocating this collaboration of elite playwrights, creative talents and performers of Hong Kong, the Mainland and Taiwan in this work, the Chinese Opera Festival is committed in promoting the heritage and development of the art of Kunqu Opera. The script of the Kunqu Opera The Butterfly Dream was adapted by Koo Siu-sun in 2005, based on the adaptation stage script by Yan Zhu from the Qing dynasty. Four actors performed ten roles to develop the story of Zhuangzi testing his wife. The play proved to be highly popular after its debut performance and is now being played by Kunqu Opera troupes worldwide. Its staging in both the east and west coasts of the United States have also received critical acclaims. In 2011, the play was restaged by director Lin Weilin of Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe with young actors Bao Chen, Wang Jing, Hu Linan, Tian Yang, etc. with new ideas emerged. The excerpt performance will be led by the Shi-, Xiu- and Wan- generations of actors. Wang Shiyao and Zhang Shizheng of the Shi-generation will partner to stage Writing the Petition from The Story of the Gauze Silk – a performance that the audience will look forward to.

Kunqu Opera The Legend of the Purple Hairpin

Ming playwright Tang Xianzu’s famous works The Purple Hairpin, The Peony Pavilion, Tale of Nanke and The Handan Dream are collectively known as the “Yumingtang Four Dreams”. Among them, The Peony Pavilion is the most well-known and perennial. Based on the Tang chuanqi play Tale of Huo Xiaoyu by Jiang Fang, The Purple Hairpin tells of the touching tale about a loving couple who is nearly broken apart because of the harsh reality while bearing much pain and suffering during the course. Since the Ming and Qing dynasty, Breaking the Willow Branch and Yanguan Pass have been the only two excerpts more frequently played with rare record of performance in full version. These two excerpts are still being played nowadays. With exquisite libretto and vocal style as well as elegant presentation, the audience is left with much to desire in the full version performance. This time, Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe is invited to restage this play in full bringing together Kunqu Opera artists from Hong Kong, the mainland and Taiwan. The original fifty-three scenes will be condensed into ten scenes to bring forth the sad moving love story between Li Yi and Huo Xiaoyu. With the vocal style set and arranged according to the “Nashuying Score” written by Ye Tang in Qing, brilliance should be anticipated.
On the evening of the lantern festival, Huo Xiaoyu drops her purple hairpin while appreciating the lanterns and encounters the poet Li Yi. The two fall in love at first sight and tie the marriage knot. Soon afterwards Li Yi is awarded the first place in the civil examination. Winning a beautiful wife and the top scholar honour, Li Yi is faced with a bright future. However, as Li Yi refuses to succumb to the powerful court official Grand Commandant Lu, Lu is infuriated and out of malice recommends Li to the frontier commander Liu Gongji as advisor. Meanwhile Xiaoyu is worried that with fame and advancement Li might change his heart and find another wife. Li writes a poem to pledge his love to ease his wife’s mind. Li Yi has gone to the frontier for three years without any correspondence. Xiaoyu is terribly worried. News arrived suddenly saying Li Yi has already become the son-in-law of Grand Commandant Lu. Xiaoyu is devastated. As the news has not been confirmed, Xiaoyu decides to sell their love token, the purple hairpin to pay Cui Yunming to find out the truth. The truth is with Li Yi’s help Liu Gongji has pacified the frontier trouble and scored meritorious achievement and hence been appointed as the Imperial Army Commander. For fear of losing power, Grand Commandant Lu tries to take Li Yi in as son-in-law but Li refuses determinedly. Lu therefore sets up a trap by claiming Xiaoyu has remarried to try to convince Li. At the imperial command, Liu Gongji disguises himself as the man-in-yellow to investigate into Grand Commandant Lu’s secret communication with the enemies and during the course learns about Lu’s forcing Li Yi into marriage. While Xiaoyu is heartbroken and lies critically ill in bed, Liu manages to dissolve the misunderstanding between the couple with the help of Siniang, Yunming and Xiaqing. Finally the two reconcile and reunite happily.

Excerpts
The Wedding Night from The Mismatches Caused by a Kite
An excerpt from the chuanqi play The Mismatches Caused by a Kite by the Qing playwright Li Yu, The Wedding Night is adapted from the 20th scene of the original play, Trouble at the Wedding. Other frequently played excerpts include The Ugly Bride, Forced Marriage and The Wedding Night: the Second Half. As shocking truth is discovered on the wedding night, quarrel arises between the groom Qi Youxian, played by a fu (comic) role and the bride Zhan Aijuan, played by a chou role. Finally the bride’s mother, who played by a laodan (old female) role, mediates and brings the newly-wed back together. The story plot is intricate and the acting lively, smooth and hilarious.
Qi Fuchen is asked by his friend Zhan Wucheng to pick a husband for his second daughter Aijuan. Qi offers Aijuan’s hand in marriage to his own son. On the wedding night, to the amazement of Qi’s son who thinks that Miss Zhan is a beauty, Aijuan turns out to be an ugly girl. It is further learnt that she has met with Qi’s foster son Hansheng before the wedding. As such, the newly-wed quarrels. Finally with kind words of advice from Aijuan’s mother, the two make up.

Flee by Night from The Legend of the Precious Sword
An excerpt from the chuanqi play The Legend of the Precious Sword by Ming playwright Li Kaixian, Flee by Night is regarded in traditional Kunqu Opera performance as a “One Man Show” which means a single performer sings, recites, acts and does acrobatics all by himself till the end without leaving the stage. The performer is required to have solid foundation to accomplish this task which involves substantial range of movement, high-pitched singing and impassioned acting as well. There is a saying within the circle that Flee by Night is dreaded most by actors while Mortal Thoughts dreaded most by actresses, thus revealing their difficulty.
Lin Chong hides in Chai Jin’s mansion. With secret message brought by Gongsun and a recommendation letter from Chai, Lin flees at night. On the way to Liangshan Marsh, he is overwhelmed by mixed emotions.

The Lake Tower from Winning the Most Famous Beauty
A work by Li Yu from late Ming early Qing dynasty, this excerpt is mainly the performance of the jinsheng (cultured male) role punctuated by comic relief from the tavern waiter played by a chou role. It is funny and light-hearted with songs and dance in an overall comic atmosphere. The performer fully utilizes the operatic skills of flicking sleeve and the fan to express Qin Zhong’s infatuation with the courtesan.
Oil-seller Qin Zhong passes by the West Lake one day and meets a remarkable beauty by chance. He is mesmerized and falls in love. He takes his day off the next day and loiters around the lake hoping to see the beautiful woman again. He waits and waits but still fails to see her. He strides into the lakeside tavern to drink and learns from a masseur that the beauty is the number one courtesan in Linan. While feeling pity for her, he still cannot repress his desire and makes up his mind to save up money for a year in order to get close to her.

Writing the Petition from The Story of the Gauze Silk
An excerpt from the chuanqi play by Shen Jing in Ming dynasty, Writing the Petition is the stage version of the 10th scene, The Conspiracy in the original play. It is a duet played by the fu and jing roles performed mainly in speech. Through the interplay of pulling and pushing, lies and cheat, fawn and flatter, the performers give a vivid portrayal of the crooked characters.
Jia Zhuwen is a corrupt litigation official fond of champerty but he puts up a pretense by practicing the Buddhist way. A man named Liu Junyu comes by and seeks his help to write a petition to falsely accuse someone. Jia pretends to refuse at first but after soliciting a large amount of money from Liu, he agrees to do so.

Kunqu Opera The Butterfly Dream
Marriage Proposal and The Reply are the two more frequently played excerpts of The Butterfly Dream on the Kunqu Opera stage. They feature the dan (female) role playing against the chou (comic) role covering only the part on Zhuang Zi testing his wife where Tian is newly widowed and anxious to have her old servant act as the matchmaker. Hence it fails to let the audience understand the ideology and theme behind the whole story. This stage version of The Butterfly Dream is based on and adapted from Yan Zhu’s libretto in the Selected Works in Qing Opera Stage Version Zhui Bai Qiu. The two main performers are the dan and sheng (male) roles, with the dan playing Tian and the filial woman in roles of wudan (highborn female) and liudan (young female) respectively and the sheng playing both Zhuang Zhou and Wangsun in the roles of laosheng (old male) and xiaosheng (civil male). Supported by four other performers in roles of jing (painted face), chou and za (supporting cast), a total of seven excerpts are presented, namely Conversation with the Skeleton, Fanning the Grave, Breaking the Fan, The Mourning, Marriage Proposal, The Reply and Strike the Coffin to convey the central theme of The Butterfly Dream more comprehensively to the audience. The speech, vocal style, movement and acting in the play are quite demanding. Performers are required to have solid skills as well as humorous and cheerful delivery style to bring the intricate and surreal story to life.
The Butterfly Dream is the story about Zhuang Zhou’s practice of the Taoist way. On his way home, Zhuang falls asleep and dreams of having a conversation with a skeleton which makes him regretful. At the sight of a filial woman fanning a grave, he further laments at the fickleness of human emotions. To test the faithfulness of his wife Tian, Zhuang pretends to be dead and turns himself into a young and handsome Chu Wangsun to seduce Tian. Indeed Tian falls in love with Wangsun and wants to marry him. As Wangsun is suffering from severe headache, Tian tries to use an axe to crack Zhuang’s head open to get the brain to save the Wangsun’s life. At the sound of the third strike, Zhuang wakes up to find that it is all a dream.
