Synopsis
The musical "Sanxingdui" is a story about love, faith and inheritance. The biggest feature of the work is that two different time and spaces, ancient Shu and modern times, are intertwined. The ancient Shu Kingdom tells the story of Wu Zhu, the high priest who can sense the heaven and earth. Foreseeing the impending disaster, in order to continue human civilization, he summoned craftsmen to forge artifacts and lead his people to complete the ritual. However, when everyone thought that creating the artifact could complete the sacrificial ceremony. , everything has just begun... The modern part tells the story of Zhou Ran, an archaeological intern who, because he could not defeat his father, interned in Sanxingdui with complaints. Various misunderstandings and contradictions occurred at the beginning, but he finally understood the meaning of civilization and civilization at work. He inherited the inheritance and understood his father’s painstaking efforts. The stories of the two time and space are cause and effect, complement each other, emotionally related to each other, thematically corroborate each other, and finally complete.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
