The Butterfly Lovers 祝英台

Following the success of the stage play adaptation of the most celebrated classic Chinese novel “The Dream of Red Mansions,” Symphony Theatre now presents the stage adaptation of a poignant, true love story from ancient China, “The Butterfly Lovers”.

After the monumental success of “Dream of the Red Mansion” stage play, Symphony Theatre Production brings together the talents of drama directors, actors, composers, lyricists, singers and scriptwriters from China, Taiwan, the United States, Australia and Malaysia to present this unforgettable love affair.

The female lead, Zhu Yingtai, will be played by internationally-acclaimed singer and actress Jessie Chung, who has developed her career in China, Australia, Taiwan and Malaysia. The male lead, Liang Shanbo, will be played by American director and actor Paul Lee, who majored in drama and music performance at an American University. The lead actor of “The Last Tears”, Isaac Cheah, the lead actor of “The Dream of Red Mansions,”, Terry Lim, the lead actor of “Tearless Sky”, John Lee, and the lead actor of “Music Box”, Marcus Choot, will also be joining the prodigious cast.

The entire presentation of “The Butterfly Lovers” is designed in a naturalistic style to provide the audience with the most immersive experience; a large LED 3D-background visuals, realistic sound effects, exquisite antique props and elegant, elegant ancient costumes. During the entire performance, viewers will be able to travel back in time and space to the ancient China and embark on Zhu Yingtai's multi-faceted experiences.

In addition to the beauty of ancient Chinese classics, Chinese cultural elements such as Beijing Opera and Chinese martial arts are also being incorporated into the show to promote and perpetuate the extensive Chinese culture.

Symphony Theatre has also invited American music producer John Lee to create the theme song “Winding”, which chronicles the ancient love between Liang and Zhu, as well as the two interludes “First Sight” and “Promise Me”, which narrate the true feelings of each other.

Let Symphony Theatre embark you on a dreamlike, butterfly-filled journey of love.
