Traditional Chinese opera is a popular form of drama and musical theater that dates back to early Chinese history. the opera The Warriors of the Yang Family is based on a collection of folk tales that center on the warlike adventures of the Song dynasty (960–1279) and the story of the warrior women of the Yang family.
This show tells the story of the women who protected their homeland. It is the generals of the Yang Family who lead the Song army, overcoming a succession of unforeseen events, until a fierce and powerful battle against the invading enemy. Finally, victorious, the Song army returns home led by Yang's warrior women.
