Young as they are, the performer’s professionalism shines on stage. The rising stars of Cantonese opera will present Mu Guiying Battling in Hongzhou, a celebrated work composed of both singing section and martial arts section.
The heroic deeds of the female generals of the Yang family are well-known in China. Mu Guiying Battling in Hongzhou narrates a story that happened during Renzong’s reign in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Liao forces invaded the nation and trapped Yang Yanzhao in Hongzhou. Despite her pregnancy, Mu Guiying is urged by Kou Zhun into leading an army to rescue Yang Yanzhao, with her husband Yang Zongbao. Despite life is not a bed of roses, they finally defeat their enemy and save Yang Yanzhao.
