10. Princess Zhaojun
Premiere: 2016
China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater
Princess Zhaojun is an epic stage production that adapted from a true historical event, bringing to life a household story of one of China's "Four Great Beauties", Wang Zhaojun.
Known as a celebrated Chinese heroine who helped bring peace to the turbulent northern border over 2,000 years ago in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), Wang sacrificed her comfortable palace life for years of bilateral relations between Xiongnu, a powerful tribal nomadic group on the then-border of China, and her country.
