Chinese Kunqu masterpiece "The Peony Pavilion" will be staged at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing from Jan. 3 to 4, 2020.

Written by Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu (1550-1616) of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it tells the story of the romance between a daughter of a wealthy official and a talented but poor young scholar. The play has been staged overseas many times.

Kunqu, with a history of hundreds of years, is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an intangible cultural heritage.
