| Description |
Created during the Ming Dynasty, this masterpiece has endured as a classic of Kunqu. The passionate story of the impoverished yet bright Liu Mengmei and the Nanan Governor's privileged daughter Du Liniang comes vibrantly into play through love, death, dreams and a visit from the Lord of the Underworld. |
