The performance of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
The large-scale landscape historical dance drama "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is adapted from the narrative poem of the same name by Bai Juyi. More than 300 professional actors in gorgeous Tang-style costumes perform in it, using dance to present the classic episodes described in the poem: During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ming of Tang summoned Yang Yuhuan into the palace and doted on her deeply. After An Lushan's rebellion, Yang Yuhuan was forced to death at Mawei Slope. Emperor Ming was heartbroken and finally his soul ascended to the sky, where he met his beloved concubine in the Moon Palace.
Venue: Reenacting History in Huaqing Palace
The performance of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is held within the Huaqing Palace scenic area. As the sky gradually darkens, the stage rises from the water and a magpie bridge is set up in the air. The dreamy scene makes people feel as if they have traveled back to the Tang Dynasty.
Stage Design: Creating Emotions with Technology and Scenery
The lighting and scenery of the performance are also amazing. Elements such as the pavilions and the lake in Huaqing Palace are skillfully integrated into the drama. Along with the music, spray splashes on the lake and a sea of fire burns. Behind the stage, the lighting outlines the silhouette of Lishan Mountain, and the dotted lights are like stars falling on the mountain.
