Touring throughout Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in May and June 2016, The Imperial Bells of China returns to Australia with a new production incorporating dance and folk songs.
From the earliest historical periods, bells have been an essential component of instrumental ensembles in China. In 1978, the 2,400-year-old bronze and stone chime-bells of Duke Zeng’s Tomb were unearthed in Hubei China. Inspired by these archaeological discoveries, Hubei Opera Theatre staged the Chime Music and Dance performance.
Having been performed across 57 countries, this magnificent production - set in the 900s - combines traditional music and dance of China, exquisite costumes and harmonious sounds of the elaborately cast bells and other ancient musical instruments.
“This, musically, was the full-body experience: openhearted music with a wide screen sweep, with funky, pounding, irresistible rhythms…Visually and sonically I have witnessed nothing like it,” Michael Tumelty, The Herald
