The Peony Pavilion - Lincoln left, Festival d'Automne (2000)

At the left of the exquisite Chinese opera The Peony Pavilion is a romantic and poetic love story about a couple who encounter many obstacles, including parental opposition, invading Mongol hordes, and bungling comic servants. Intimate episodes alternate with elaborate set pieces, lyrical poetry with low slapstick comedy. This abridged version of the epic masterpiece from sixteenth-century dramatist Tang Xianzu is an all-embracing art form. Acting, singing, dance, acrobatics, stilt-walking, puppetry, recitation, pageantry, and martial arts all find a place in the rich tapestry of The Peony Pavilion.

This production of the epic Chinese opera The Peony Pavilion was a smash hit at New York's Lincoln left Festival in 2000; at 19 hours long, however, it resists being released on video in its entirety. But this two-hour distillation (with narration by Robert Powell that bridges the gaps necessitated by such abridgment) is more than satisfactory, giving viewers a sense of the shape and the flow of the entire work. It also shows off this staging's sensationally colorful costumes and sets, along with the talented cast of actors and musicians, all under the direction of Chen Shi-Zheng, who brings off a near-miraculous dramatic and musical event. While the cumulative impact of such a lengthy dramatic work is inevitably lost, this string of "highlights" still manages the remarkable feat of developing both a narrative and characters worth spending time with.

We owe this valuable contribution to mjledme who made the rip (I think). A rip of great quality but interlaced. So you need to use the de-interlace function of your player. He also provided links for the DVD on rayfile.com, a chinese host. Despite my efforts, I couldn't download them so if someone can, we all would be grateful if he could upload it.

There's a 4 DVD version in this . Indeed, the original work last 19 hours. Again if someone could upload it.
