Crossover
The Butterfly Lovers: Oriental Classics Symphonic Concert

About the performance
The Shanghai Kalliope Symphony Orchestra plays, with the violinist Qu Youyang. Twelve items in two halves. Before the interval: Jasmine Flower, Peach Blossom Vow, a Legend of the Condor Heroes suite, A Bite of China, Big Fish & Begonia, Chi Ling, The Wandering Earth and a Drawing Sword suite. After it: Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margin, and finally the complete Butterfly Lovers violin concerto. Everything except the concerto is an orchestral arrangement of screen, animation or pop material — the presenter's own word is "re-creation" — and it publishes neither the original composers nor the arrangers, so we do not enter these as works. No conductor is named. The publicity promises a singer using operatic vocal technique, also unnamed. The programme is subject to change on the night.
