Adieu Ma Concubine

From the film Adieu Ma Concubine (霸王別姬) by Chen Kai-Ge (陳凱歌), starring the late, great Leslie Cheung. Portrayed here as the luscious 程蝶衣 in the role of 楊貴妃, one of the most famous pieces amongst the repertoire of Chinese Bejing Opera. More information on 貴妃醉酒, also here, here (Chinese) and here (English).

Bando Tamasaburo's exquisite and stunning performance of Yokihi: The dance Yokihi is based on the Chinese historical figure Princess Yang Kwei-Fei, who was the beloved concubine of the Tang Dynasty emperor 唐玄宗 Hsuan Tsung (Genso in Japanese). I have been a fan of Tamasaburo for a long time. Make sure to see this performance here: part 1 & part 2.
