Dream of the Red Chamber, with Bright Sheng and David Henry Hwang, 4.21.22
Dream of the Red Chamber (紅樓夢), one of China’s four great classic novels, tells the story of the rise and decline a wealthy imperial Chinese family, and by extension, the rise and decline of the Qing dynasty itself. The novel was adapted as an English-language Opera composed by Bright Sheng with libretto by Sheng and David Henry Hwang, which premiered at the San Francisco Opera in 2016.
On April 21, composer Bright Sheng and TONY Award winner David Henry Hwang explored the world of their Dream of the Red Chamber which returns to the San Francisco Opera House in June 2022. Sheng and Hwang, in conversation with Ann Chih Lin, Director of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan, share what it takes to adapt this rich and complex world to a different medium, and why this story still resonates with readers and viewers alike more than two centuries after it was first written.
The event was co-presented by China Institute and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies (LRCCS) at the University of Michigan.
