Step into a world of myth and magic 🌟 as China’s beloved folk tale Legend of the White Snake comes alive by the iconic West Lake! This timeless story of love, courage, and supernatural twists has enchanted audiences for centuries—and now, the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre is bringing its poetic flair to the stage. 🎭
Picture this: Bai Suzhen, a white snake spirit turned woman 💃, and her fierce sister Xiaoqing (a green snake spirit 🐍) stroll along the misty lakeside. Suddenly, rain pours down ☔️—and who should appear but Xu Xian, a kind-hearted mortal with an umbrella. Their fateful meeting sparks a romance that defies realms… but you’ll have to catch the show to see how it unfolds! 💞
Kunqu Opera’s delicate costumes and haunting melodies 🎶—recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of intangible heritage—add a modern twist to this ancient tale. Whether you’re into folklore, drama, or just epic love stories, this performance is a must-see for culture buffs and hopeless romantics alike. ✨
