By the lake there is a beautiful lady with natural elegance who wears a graceful dress. In spring rain, she takes a boat with a gentleman. There is a love relationship going on by borrowing an umbrella. A white snake in heaven prefers to live in an earthly world and then decides to disguise herself as a lady. In order to search for a reincarnated gentleman Xiu Xian, she brings her maid Xiao-Ching to walk along the Western Lake. At this moment, Xiu returns from worshipping his ancestors at the tomb. Unexpectedly, rain suddenly falls. He and the lady and her maid ascend the boat together. This is the first encounter of Xiu and the lady. Both of them fall in love at the first sight. They tour over the Western Lake and express their love to each other.
Focus嚗Adopted from the play Tour over the Lake and Borrow an Umbrella, this show conveys the romantic story in an interesting approach. By basic teaching and interaction, it is expected to promote Taiwanese opera culture and hand it down from one generation to another. This performance will offer the audience a splendid art and culture feast.
