Reconciliation, command and imperial disappointment meet in three contrasting Peking opera excerpts.

In The Drunken Concubine, Yang Guifei drinks after the emperor fails to visit. Announced performers include Wu Yuhuan, Zhang Xiaomei and Tan Mingxin and others. Performed by Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing as part of the Guocui Jixiang series. Performed in Chinese.
