Quick Orientation

Song of Everlasting Sorrow is a modern stage interpretation of a famous Tang story, not a documentary reconstruction of Tang court life.

The main production is staged outdoors at Huaqing Palace, with season and weather affecting performances. Huaqing Palace also operates a winter Ice · Fire version, so confirm the exact version, date and showtime before planning transport from central Xi'an.
