The China National Opera House will stage Wagner's Tannhauser on Sept 22 and 24, at Beijing's Tianqiao Theater. Tannhauser will mark the opera house's premiere of the German composer's works. It will be performed in German with Chinese subtitles.
Earlier, it staged the White-Haired Girl, the nation's first Chinese opera after 1949.
White-Haired Girl and Tannhauser, together with a concert of classic opera arias in August and a concert of music from the dance drama Road of Rejuvenation on Sept 26, are China National Opera House's contributions to the festival of China's national art troupes organized by the Ministry of Culture.
