Zan Yuen
Zan Yuen is a 1995 Chinese-language western-style opera. The plot concerns a Mongolian tribe returning from Siberia to China during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing dynasty.
The music was composed by Xu Zhanhai, of the Shenyang Music Institute and Liaoning Opera, based on the plot of a radio drama series Run to the place where the sun rises by screenwriter Yan Derong. A DVD was recorded by the Liaoning Opera in 1996 featuring tenor Wei Song. The opera in its plot subject, music and choruses bears traces of the traditional "revolutionary" Chinese modern opera style.
