　　Taiwan Bangzi Inheritance Project of Hai-ling Wang’s Classic Works The Romance of the Embroidered Sachet A classic of Bangzi opera, featuring the hua dan (young, female role) Artistic supervision by Hai-ling Wang, winner of the National Award for Arts Bangzi opera’s “Little Queen” Yang-ling Hsiao leads the performance, co-starring Chien-hua Liu, Wen-chi Hsieh, and Wun-wei Lin. See a straightforward noble lady who returned her maiden home soon after her wedding. See how she helps her brother find his better half after clever matchmaking, bringing another blessing for the family. Also known as Carrying the Sedan Chair or The Marriage Exchange, The Romance of the Embroidered Sachet is one of the classic Bangzi operas every performer of young female roles needs to master. The part of Guei-lan Chou provides a wide-ranging showcase for the actor's skills in singing, speaking, and movement. The heroine of this comedy – outspoken, vivacious, witty, and ready to lend a helping hand – awaits her own marriage, meets her mate, and then helps complete “The Marriage Exchange” by arranging a further match between the two families. One of the highpoints of this opera features the sedan chair that will carry Guei-lan to her wedding. The bumpy mountain roads, the teasing humor of the sedan chair carriers are all rendered with lively movements and ensemble precision. The sound of suona music anchors the opera, whose score is permeated with the special qualities of Bangzi opera.
