Description
In 1955, the Central Experimental Opera Theater (later the China Opera and Dance Drama Theater 中国歌剧舞剧院) premiered a small-scale Chinese classical dance drama Stealing Immortal Herbs (盗仙草), based on a scene from the popular Chinese tale Legend of the White Snake (白蛇传). Fang Bonian (方伯年 b. 1936) played the Immortal Old Man of the South Pole (南极仙翁). It was based on the success of this work that the Dance Drama Ensemble was established in 1956.
