The Qingdao Song and Dance Troupe performed its famous dance drama Hong Gaoliang, or Red Sorghum, last week in the provincial capital Chengdu. The drama was adapted from an identically named novel by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan. The troupe bought the copyright in 2011 for a six-figure sum. In the next two months, 21 performances, including Yuju opera and Kunqu opera, are due to be staged in the city.
