Chinese Kunqu Opera: Peony Pavilion-part-13

青春版牡丹亭-魂游 The wandering soul

Du Liniang's ghost returns to the garden which, to her dismay, has gone to seed. Priestess Stone is saying a mass for her in the Plum Blossom Shrine. She wonders where her parents and Chunxiang are. That everything has changed in such a short time saddens her. Soon, she hears Liu Mengmei calling out to the woman in the painting, "Jiejie, my dearest Jiejie!" His voice sends her heart pounding and she wishes she had someone who spoke to her that way, she did not know then, of course, that the object of his adoration is no other than herself.
