A representative work from the “Mei School” of Peking Opera (Mei stands for Mei Langfang), The Phoenix Returns to its Nest tells a comic love story set in the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is synonymous with celebrating the Lunar New Year. Some of the arias by the heroine Cheng Xue’e are a highlight with their lively rhythms.
