World premiere of own musical in London

Herstory in History

A commissioned composition by Chinese musical star Fiona Zhu. Based on the Chinese classic "The Orphan of Zhao," this new adaptation explores the parallels between the female lead, the story itself, and the challenges facing contemporary actresses who are to portray this role. The audience gains profound insights not only into historical events but also into the unique connection between performer and spectator.

The music remains true to the musical idiom but adds a distinctly Chinese flavor through the inclusion of the guqin, a Chinese fingerboard zither.

World premiere on August 15th at 7:00 PM at The Studio, Rich Mix 35-47 Bethnal Green Road

Further performances on August 16th at 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM
