About this work
A short Peking opera piece about Yang Guifei, favourite consort of the Tang emperor Xuanzong. She waits for the emperor at the Pavilion of a Hundred Flowers, only to learn he has gone to another consort; hurt and alone, she drinks cup after cup until she is drunk, then returns to the palace in sorrow. Mei Lanfang made the role a signature of his style through song, movement, fan and water-sleeve work. His performance was preserved in the 1955 film Stage Art of Mei Lanfang, and his 1930 US and 1935 Soviet tours influenced Brecht and Meyerhold.
قطعه‌ای کوتاه از اپرای پکن دربارهٔ یانگ گویی‌فی، همسر محبوب امپراتور شوان‌زونگ از سلسلهٔ تانگ. او در کوشک صد گل منتظر امپراتور است، اما درمی‌یابد که امپراتور نزد همسر دیگری رفته است؛ آزرده و تنها، جام پشت جام می‌نوشد تا مست می‌شود و سرانجام اندوهگین به کاخ بازمی‌گردد. مِی لان‌فانگ این نقش را با آواز، حرکات بدن، بادبزن و آستین‌های بلند به یکی از امضاه‌ای سبک خود تبدیل کرد. اجرای او در فیلم «هنر صحنهٔ مِی لان‌فانگ» (۱۹۵۵) ثبت شد، و تورهایش در آمریکا (۱۹۳۰) و شوروی (۱۹۳۵) بر برشت و می‌رهولد اثر گذاشت.
