Cantonese Opera Performs ZHOU YU THRICE HUMILIATED & BATTLE AT CHANGBANPO
Performances run July 26-27.
By: Stephi Wild Jun. 30, 2025
Under the artistic direction of renowned virtuoso Yuen Siufai, audiences will be brought back to the Three Kingdoms era of fierce rivalry. Zhou Yu Thrice Humiliated gives an indepth look at the battle of wits and strategy between lord Zhou Yu and general Zhuge Liang.
The Battle at Changbanpo has a cast that covers the full range of role types. The fierce battles involving Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu showcase the solid martial art training of the Southern School and the ingeniously configured group combats characteristic of the Northern School. These powerful battle scenes are definitely a feast for the eyes.
These two productions bring together some of the finest Cantonese Opera talents across three generations to showcase the enduring legacy of Cantonese Opera artistry.
