Presented by the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater, “Princess Zhaojun” is an epic stage production that features more than 50 elite dancers, bringing to life a household story of one of China’s “Four Great Beauties“, Wang Zhaojun.
Known as a celebrated Chinese heroine who helped bring peace to the turbulent northern border, Wang was a palace lady-in-waiting who lived over 2,000 years ago in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). Through her political marriage to the leader of Xiongnu – a powerful tribal nomadic group in what’s known as the Inner Mongolia autonomous region today, she sacrificed her comfortable palace life for years of bilateral relations between Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.
