The Peony Pavilion: Who Owns Culture? Authenticity: Is it for Real?
Jul 11, 1999
6:00–8:00pm ET
Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse Rose Building, Lincoln Center
The complete production of The Peony Pavilion is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Besides its place in operatic history this production is notable for the controversy that surrounded its presentation last year. Why should a 16th century opera have created such a stir? Possibly because the issues at stake are not limited to China, but resonate throughout the international community.
