Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress
Went for the last show of Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress at Esplanade last night. It was well perform and worth while to watch. Don’t worry my friend, you will get the chance as the musical dance theater will tour around the world soon.
Starring Kit Chan, & Musical by Dick Lee
A historical retelling of the story of China’s Empress Dowager, the story is seen from the eyes of an American painter, Kate Carl, who is commissioned to paint the Empress’ portrait.
The Empress recounts her amazing journey from a young imperial concubine to become the Empress of China and the pressures she faced. The musical explores the myths surrounding her reign, from the controversial death of her only son to her ambitious tussle for power.
