Little Red Riding Hood–Chinese Opera with Orchestra April 3, 2011

Little Red Riding Hood: The Chinese Opera retells the timeless tale of a young girl’s journey to grandma’s house and transforms it into a cross-cultural journey into the heart of China’s centuries old performance traditions. Chinese Theatre Works’ (CTW) adaptation of the beloved European fairytale serves as a window for American audiences to experience the full range of classical Chinese Opera aesthetics and technique. Conceived, written, and directed by Kuang Yu Fong, Little Red Riding Hood: The Chinese Opera draws on eight different masterpieces from the repertoire of the traditional Chinese opera, and seamlessly integrates portions of them together. Co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute.

"The production promises to take Little Red on a journey far more thrilling than the trip to Grandma’s house.”–The New York Times

“A uniquely different interpretation of the classic tale, cleverly handled and excellently performed…”–Philip Jackson, Queens Museum of Art
