Main Stage at Mid-Valley PAC
Taylorsville, Utah
On sale: 9/23/2025 at 10am.
Experience the Passion and Poetry of a Chinese Masterpiece sung in English. Kuei-Jhu Chen conducts this Premiere U.S. performance with the Choral Arts Society of Utah along with a violin soloist, pianist Susanna Karrington, three narratives, including our conductor Sterling Poulson, and yes, several abacuses.
Adapted from the legendary 18th-Century novel by Cao Xueqin, this powerful cantata brings one of China’s greatest literary epics to life through music. Follow the Haunting love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, the glittering rise and tragic fall of the Jia family, and the dreamlike beauty of a vanished world. This evocative work explores themes of love, destiny, and impermanence. A timeless tale re-imagined for the concert stage. Other selections in the concert also reflect the same theme of love and our destiny as we create it.
Run time: 75 minutes
Recommended for ages 8 and up. Infants not admitted. All patrons require a ticket.
