The great classical stage art of [[Kunqu]] is an ancestor of [[Peking Opera]] that first became popular in the 16th century. Kunqu was to remain [[China]]'s dominant national theatrical form for some 300 years, and although it lost its place as the nation's preeminent form of theatre with the rise of Peking Opera, a number of Kunqu troupes still perform regularly. They not only stage the great classics and create new ones, but they also make imaginative adaptations of some of those time-honored pieces. The [[Shanghai Kunqu Troupe]]'s production of '''''The Peony Pavilion''''' is one of these.
