- This book traces how a regional Chinese theatrical form, Shanghai Yue Opera, evolved from the all-male ’beggar’s song’ of the early twentieth century, to become the largest all-female opera form in China, through to questions about its future survival in the new millennium. The result of several years of extensive interdisciplinary research, this book argues that state art institutions have become key organs of the Communist party for gaining legitimacy, showing how the evolution of the Shanghai Yue Opera house directly mirrors the internal turmoil experienced by the party in the new millennium.
