BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Taiwan Peking opera "A Tale of Golden Locks," based on a novel of renowned writer Eileen Chang, will be staged at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing on Nov. 21.

    The opera, created by the island's Guoguang Opera Company, comprises five acts. It caused a sensation when it premiered in Taipei in 2006.

    The opera employs stage partition to create changes of space and time and makes full use of film montage to present Chang's visual imagination and compact plot.

    The NCPA is seeing a steady flow of Taiwan artistic groups coming to onto stages.

    The Peking opera troupe is to be followed by Taiwan's internationally acclaimed Cloud Gate Dance Theater. It will put dance "Cursive" on the stage of the NCPA on Nov. 27. The work absorbed elements of calligraphy and was staged with slides of gigantic brush characters in the backdrop.

    The dance group will be the 15th artistic group from Taiwan visiting NCPA this year.
