BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- The following are a selection of shows available in Beijing in the coming week:
NCPA Opera La Fanciulla del West
Date: August 20, August 22, August 24, August 25
Time: 19:00
Venue: Opera House, National Centre for the Performing Arts
Introduction:
Based on David Belasco's drama The Girl of the Golden West, La Fanciulla del West has been considered an oddity in Puccini's work, the only lyrical opera featuring roughneck gold miners in the American west. As Madame Butterfly and Turandot testified before, Belasco liked stories about exoticism. The NCPA production will unveil the China premiere of La Fanciulla del West, under the direction of Thaddeus Strassberger, while Andrea Battistoni takes the baton.

Date: August 14-31
Time: 17:15, 19:30
Venue: Beijing Red Theater
Introduction:
The principal character, Chun Yi, was sent to a Buddhist temple to be a monk at a young age. Initially, the young monk had a hard time getting used to the strict discipline of the temple until he became interested in the unbelievable power of Kung Fu. From then on, he worked hard on Kung Fu and made great achievements over the years. On the way to seeking enlightenment, Chun Yi suffered a lot before becoming a great Buddhist master. The actors in this performance are young but well-trained. This show consists of six scenes, unifies Chinese traditional arts and modern dance, and is a must-see for travelers and Kung Fu enthusiasts.
