The Story of the Western Wing, one of China's most famous love operas, tells the story of Student Zhang and a teenage girl named Oriole who begin a passionate relationship in a Chinese monastery. Performed during the thirteenth-fifteenth centuries, this musical ballad is critical to understanding Chinese vernacular and performative literature and offers a unique perspective on literary and social values in China's early modern period.
Occupying a seminal position in opera and musical theatre, Harry Lawrence Freeman (1869-1954) stands at the vanguard of black operatic music history. One of the earliest American classical composers to infuse scores with jazz, blues, and spirituals, he inaugurated a black libretto movement that reverberates in musical culture today.
