Jia and Lin are two characters from the Chinese classic (名著) A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin. But now people can watch an English opera of the famous story. The opera was first shown last September in San Francisco, the US. This month it came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera's creators (创造者) have backgrounds in both Chinese culture and American culture. Their understanding of culture helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.
The book tells the story of the Jia family. There are hundreds of characters in the book, but only seven in the opera. David Henry Huang, a Chinese-American, paid attention to the love story between Jia and Lin, and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreigners understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage sets (布景) . He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her.
The creators think it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western people. Huang told China Daily, "I am happy to do something for the land where my parents were born."

They learned a lot from them. For example, they learned how to show different feelings with different body language. After watching the famous performers' shows, the students were shocked (震惊的) by their fantastic skills as well as their spirits (精神) of being serious about every act.
