The plot of the Peony Pavilion is one of the most romantic in the classical Chinese opera. Beauty DU Liniang met her lover in a dream - in a beautiful garden full of flowers and birds. Having not found a young man after awakening, DU Liniang dies of longing. But before that, she painted her dream and told the maid to put that picture among flowers and trees. Once a poor student named LIU Mengme found a picture in the garden and saw on it a beautiful girl and himself. He immediately fell in love with her. Miraculously the girl came alive, and the lovers became happy spouses. The director and the author of the music for this performance is the world-famous Chinese composer TAN Dun. His co-author is the leading performer of the Kunqu opera - ZHANG Jun, who bears the title of "UNESCO Artist for Peace".
