In The Spotlight

Hello and welcome to this edition of "In the Spotlight", a show featuring arts, culture and showbiz from right here in China. I'm your host Xiaohua. Today, we'll bring you Notes of a Deviant, the perfect book to explore the stories behind the play Rhinoceros in Love and the art style and personality of its playwright Liao Yimei. And then, an opera based on the tragic story of a love triangle which dates back to the historical periods of ancient Rome, Norma, is scheduled to meet Beijing audiences in early September. And also, the 11th Shanghai Book Fair has opened at the exhibition center in downtown Shanghai. We'll follow our reporter to see how writers from outside of China are promoting their works at the book fair. Our program will be wrapped up with a report on exploring the charm of a unique genre of folk music prevailing in Northwest China. So, lots of interesting and informative stories up ahead on "In the Spotlight". Stay with us.
