ISLINGTON FACES Interviews Kevin Zhang about this months Peking Opera
Everyone has a story. Will you be shouting ‘hao’ (bravo) when the China National Peking Opera Company performs A River All Red and The Phoenix Returns Home at Sadler’s Wells Theatre from 21-25 October?

Q Can you explain your connection with the Peking Opera?
Peking Opera (sometimes called Beijing Opera or Jingju) is a national theatrical treasure and popular across China.
