Lincoln Center Festival Presents Shen Wei Dance Arts
Tuesday July 24, 2007 - Sunday July 29, 2007 from 8:00pm - 10:00pm
New York State Theater (Lincoln Theater)
Columbus Avenue and 63rd Street
New York, New York Get Directions
Lincoln Center Festival is to present Second Visit to the Empress, an authentic Beijing Opera work. In Second Visit to the Empress, choreographer Shen Wei makes a bold leap by stretching his boundaries across opera and dance. Blending unique dance vocabulary, virtuosic vocal and instrumental music, and dialogue, Shen Wei, in his first opera production, has created a revolutionary piece.
Second Visit to the Empress premiered at the Qing Emperors palace two hundred years ago and is often considered to be one of the best-written music and vocal works from the Beijing Opera canon. By pushing classicism in fascinating new directions, Shen Wei re-envisions this piece by mixing the aesthetics of western and eastern cultures into extraordinary visuals of imaginistic dance and color-saturated design. Featuring the four finest Beijing Opera singers alongside twelve Shen Wei dancers and sixteen opera orchestra musicians, this event is truly a great opportunity.
