On Sunday, the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe presented The Lion’s Roar in Shanghai. This witty Kunqu comedy follows scholar Chen Jichang and his strong-willed, famously jealous wife, Liu Shi. Their hilarious marital clashes — and Chen’s comical fear of his wife — offer a delightful glimpse into traditional Chinese storytelling, humor, and the colorful world of Kunqu Opera.
