 A beautiful moonlit night,
        A quiet flower-shadowed spring time.
        Why is it that the lunar goddess,
        Evades those now bathed in moonlight?

In anticipation of our theatrical presentations of Yueju and Kwun Opera in August 2011, this is the first scene of a graphical arrangement of The Romance of the Western Chamber, a classical story of love and yearning from Yuan Dynasty China which has been known as both a literary favorite and a popular Chinese Opera for centuries.  Subsequent scenes will be presented in the coming weeks.
