and CAEGA masterpiece of contemporary Chinese operaPerformance in Mandarin, subtitled in French The National Theatre of Opera and Dance of China performs for the first time in France with its emblematic work, Wild EarthCreated in 1987 after the famous play by Cao Yu, a major figure in modern Chinese literature, this opera became a classic in China before conquering American and European stages in the 1990s.

Nearly thirty years after its last European tour, Wild Earth returns to Europe in a new production specially designed for this exceptional tour.

This lyrical tragedy, performed in Mandarin and subtitled in French, tells a universal story of passion, revenge and redemption in early 20th century China.

Through the force of its musical writing and dramatic intensity, it has established itself as one of the major works of modern Chinese opera.

Presented by China Arts and Entertainment Group (CAEG) in collaboration with Le Monstre Orchestra, this event offers French audiences a rare opportunity to discover on stage one of China's most prestigious cultural institutions.

Two performances only at Salle Pleyel, September 5 and 6, 2026.
