This year’s production presents two powerful excerpts that showcase the emotional and moral depth of Teochew opera. 《秋胡戏妻》 (Sixteen Years of Devotion and a Test of the Heart) explores loyalty and human nature as Autumn Hu returns after sixteen years in disguise to test his wife’s fidelity, ultimately affirming steadfast virtue and family bonds. 《三哭殿》 (Where Law Meets Emotion, and Duty Confronts Compassion) is a gripping court drama where three generations of royal women plead with the emperor after Qin Ying accidentally kills a high-ranking official, revealing the intense struggle between law, loyalty, and compassion. Together, these excerpts embody the expressive richness of Teochew opera—its graceful movements, resonant singing, and powerful moral storytelling.
